Inadequate staffing levels
Inappropriate skill mix in your workplace
Working in end-of-life care
Value conflicts Challenging team dynamics
Duties conflicting with safety concerns

Unprecedented Distress
Sense check - moral distress
I felt anxious and concerned. I feel I could not give enough to my patients. I worried for their safety. I had so much to do and so little time. I stayed beyond my time (like I do most days) and still I feel like I failed a little. Although I did my very best.

Unprecedented Distress
Sense check - moral distress
I experienced great conflict in being asked to move staff to another area when the skill mix and staffing level of my own ward was sub optimal. This affected staff, myself and patients.

Unprecedented Distress
• Increased incidents of moral distress amongst nurses;
• Prolonged distress can lead to moral injury;
• Moral injury is not a mental illness – may increase risk of developing mental health problems.

Moral Injury and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Moral injury and PTSD are not one of the same;
• PTSD is a formal psychiatric diagnosis;
• Terms such as PTSD should be avoided without appropriate diagnosis.
