Filter by:Moral Distress (MD), also known as moral distress, was first defined by Jameton in 1984 as "the distress experienced by a person in situations where it is almost impossible to follow the correct course of action due to institutional constraints, despite knowing the correct action to take." Like all health professionals, nursing students can observe conflicts, ethical dilemmas, ethical and moral problems at the individual, clinical and managerial levels during clinical practice, and can even be directly involved in these problems. This study aimed to investigate the effect of MD on attitudes towards clinical practices in nursing students who have started to provide clinical experience. The study will be conducted with 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students studying in the nursing department of a university.
A pre-experimental design to conduct a process evaluation and to compare the outcomes after implementing team huddles for the intervention and control groups.
This study will examine the experience of moral value conflicts among genetic counselors. Previous research has shown that value conflicts do exist among genetic counselors, but little is known about the nature or consequences of these conflicts. This is a sub-study of the "Manifestations and Consequences of Moral Distress Among Genetic Service Providers: An Exploratory Study," which includes genetic counselors, nurses and medical geneticists. Genetic counselors are recruited for this value-conflict sub-study from among those participating in the Moral Distress study. Participants are interviewed in-depth by telephone about their experiences of moral value conflicts with clients. The interviews cover the following: situations in which the counselor has disagreed with a client's decision or views on a moral level; the counselor's thought processes during and after a session in which conflicts arise; the counselor's feelings and emotions associated with sessions involving a moral value conflict; the counselor's current and previous work settings; the counselor's view of his or her role and responsibility in a client's decision; challenging a client's values or decision; and preparation for value conflicts.
