Abstract

Support The Workers is an international collective composed of distinguished experts specializing in disaster response, crisis psychology, high-pressure decision-making, and human performance and health under conditions of extreme stress.

Why is moral injury relevant?
Covid-19 is placing significant demand on an already stretched healthcare system. Prioritisation of resources (e.g., staff, beds and ventilators) due to increased demand means that some patients may not receive the care that they would ordinarily get. When preventable loss of life occurs due to these reasons, healthcare workers may be at risk of moral injury.
