A look at moral resilience in health care, but some of the concepts can be applied more widely. Thoughtful and thought-provoking.
". . . moral suffering was a particular type of suffering. Moral suffering is broadly understood as the anguish we experience when we witness, participate in, or cause unfortunate or troublesome negative moral outcomes that imperil our integrity. We began to see that moral suffering, whether described as moral distress or moral injury, is experienced in response to a threat or violation of our core values, commitments and intentions. It involves situations where we know what we ought to do but are unable to translate our moral commitments into action."
"The concept of moral resilience presumes that humans are already resilient, that they strive toward integrity, and that there are ways to repair our moral fabric when it is torn or fractured. It begins with the understanding that we can do hard things. We’ve made difficult decisions in the past and likely will be called to do so in the future. Knowing that, we can walk toward moral adversity with compassion, understanding and self-respect. Later, we can engage in the process of moral repair, rather than despair and depletion. These inherent capacities are enabled by a practice environment that supports integrity and ethical practices."
