MORAL INJURY AS AN ETHICAL CHALLENGE FOR FAMILY PHYSICIANS-сжатый (1).pdf Download (140kB) |
Abstract
Moral injury is a phenomenon describing a profound inner conflict that arises when a professional recognises their inability to act in accordance with their own moral and professional values. Unlike burnout, moral injury is primarily ethical in nature and is associated not merely with workload or exhaustion, but above all with systemic constraints that force clinicians to make decisions that contradict their core values. Within healthcare, moral injury has been most extensively studied in military medicine and specialist care settings, whereas the experiences of family physicians remain insufficiently explored.
