Abstract: |
The article addresses the distinction between moral distress and moral stress in healthcare, focusing on how systemic factors in healthcare systems contribute to moral distress among clinicians. It critiques the idea that moral distress arises solely from specific clinical encounters, instead arguing that systemic influences like institutional constraints and healthcare policies play a crucial role in generating distress. |
