Hello, I am in my first semester of nursing school, and we have this project about moral distress, which requires interviewing a practicing nurse. I would greatly appreciate the help with the questions below.
If unfamiliar with the term "moral distress," it occurs when a nurse recognizes the ethically appropriate action to take but feels powerless to act due to institutional, legal, or hierarchical constraints. Over time, it can lead to emotional exhaustion, job dissatisfaction, and even burnout.
What is your professional background, years of experience, and current role?
Please share a memorable story about a time you experienced moral distress.
How did the experience make you feel? (psychological and physical symptoms.)
How did you cope? And how was the situation resolved?
Please share how this event impacted the way you view the profession of nursing or your nursing career.
