Moral distress in healthcare results from a professional's inability to provide compassionate care to patients because of individual, organizational, or societal barriers. Research suggests that moral distress is a growing concern among nurses, and may be a major reason why nurses leave one job for another or abandon the profession of nursing. Some professionals, however, have identified strategies that help them work through their moral distress toward an experience of moral comfort. These strategies may be individual, organizational, or societal. The focus of this paper is to identify examples of strategies professionals have used to alleviate distressful feelings and enhance moral comfort.
医疗保健中的道德困扰源于专业人员由于个人、组织或社会障碍而无法为患者提供富有同情心的护理。研究表明，道德困扰在护士中越来越受到关注，这可能是护士离职或放弃护理职业的主要原因。然而，一些专业人员已经确定了一些策略，帮助他们克服道德困扰，获得道德慰藉。这些策略可能是个人层面、组织层面或社会层面的。本文的重点是找出专业人员用来减轻痛苦情绪并增强道德慰藉的策略示例。
