Abstract:
:Ethically challenging situations are an increasing phenomenon in the nurse's environment, and literature on the subject is growing. Morally challenging experiences common in the critical care environment include end-of-life situations, barriers to providing the best care possible, and lack of organizational resources. These experiences can lead to moral distress and subsequent negative impacts on the clinician. Emerging in the literature are strategies to address the impact of moral distress through the development of moral resilience. Moral resilience is gained through personal commitment and organizational support.
