Objectives: 1. Determine the prevalence of moral distress for pediatric otolaryngologists at a tertiary medical center 2. Evaluate the impact of demographic variables on moral distress levels. Subjects/methods: Moral distress is defined as when one knows the right thing to do, but institutional constraints make it nearly impossible to pursue the right course of action. The Moral Distress Survey-Revised (MDS-R) is a validated 21-question survey measuring moral distress in pediatrics. The MDS-R was anonymously distributed to pediatric otolaryngology faculty and fellows at a tertiary institution. Descriptive statistics, bivariate and multivariate analysis were performed. Results: Response rate was 89% (16/18). Overall MDS-R score was 40 (range 14-94), which is lower than that found in the literature for pediatric surgeons (reported mean 72), pediatric intensivists (reported means 57-86), and similar to pediatric oncologists (reported means 42-52). Fellows had a significantly higher level of moral distress than faculty (mean 69 vs. 26, p < 0.05). Factors leading to higher degrees of distress involved communication breakdowns and pressure from administration/insurance companies to reduce costs. Conclusion: Pediatric Otolaryngologists at our institution have lower degrees of moral distress compared to other pediatric subspecialists. Fellows had higher levels of distress compared to faculty. Further research is necessary to determine degrees of distress across institutions and to determine its impact on the wellness of pediatric otolaryngologists.
