Family experiences and perceptions of intensive care unit care and communication during the COVID-19 pandemic

R. Digby et al.

Summary: This study examines the care and communication experiences of family members of ICU patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in Melbourne. Families were significantly impacted by the restrictive measures, particularly the limited number and duration of visits. Some family members experienced extreme stress and anxiety during their absence from the patient's bedside. Communication with clinicians varied, and better alternatives to face-to-face communication should be explored to mitigate the mental health effects of family separation.

Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Moral Injury in Nurses on the Frontlines of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Marsha Lesley

Summary: This article aims to raise awareness of potential moral injury in nurses working on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic, and presents approaches to support their mental health using psychoanalytic thinking. It draws on recent work from various sources, including published journal articles on moral injury, news reports on the crisis state of the pandemic, and established literature on the structural model of the mind. Nurses' ability to navigate moral hazards may depend on existing ego strengths and levels of self-blame and guilt, and educating them about their emotional responses can help reduce the damaging effects of moral injury.
