Moral distress and ethical climate in intensive care medicine during COVID-19: a nationwide study

Moniek A. Donkers et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has posed ethical challenges for ICU professionals, causing moral distress. This study examined moral distress levels and causes in Dutch ICUs during COVID-19, finding that nurses experienced higher levels of moral distress compared to supporting staff, while intensivists did not differ significantly. The highest-ranked cause of moral distress for all professionals was inadequate emotional support for patients and their families. The ethical climate was rated most positively for mutual respect, ethical awareness, and support, while the culture of not avoiding end-of-life decisions and self-reflective empowering leadership received the lowest mean scores. Moral distress scores during COVID-19 were significantly lower for ICU nurses and intensivists compared to one year prior, indicating the need for targeted interventions to address moral distress during a crisis.

Prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder on health professionals in the era of COVID-19 pandemic, Northwest Ethiopia, 2020: A multi-centered cross-sectional study

Sintayehu Asnakew et al.

Summary: The study found a high prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder among healthcare providers in the South Gondar Zone hospitals in Amhara, Ethiopia. Factors significantly associated with PTSD included lack of standardized PPE supply, older age, medical illness, perceived stigma, history of mental illness, and poor social support. Conversely, being a physician was found to be less affected by PTSD. Recommendations include ensuring adequate PPE supply, particularly for providers with medical issues, history of mental illness, and poor social support, as well as raising awareness in the community to reduce stigma towards healthcare workers treating COVID patients.
