Description
Summary:Investigations about moral resilience and moral courage as mediators between moral distress and moral injury remain underreported among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses (n = 412) from the Philippines were conveniently recruited via social media platforms and completed four self-report scales. The mediation model depicts that moral distress negatively impacts moral resilience and moral courage while positively affecting moral injury. Moral resilience and moral courage negatively impact moral injury, whereas moral resilience directly impacts moral courage. Finally, moral resilience and moral courage demonstrated a mediating effect between moral distress and moral injury. Findings indicate that healthcare organizations and nurse managers should nurture morally resilient and courageous therapeutic practices among frontline healthcare professionals to mitigate the negative effects of moral distress and moral injury.
