Moral Distress

“The pain or anguish affecting the mind, body or relationships in response to a situation in which the person is… aware of a moral problem, acknowledges moral responsibility, and makes a moral judgment about the correct action yet, as a result of real or perceived constraints, participates in perceived moral wrongdoing.” (ANA, 2008)

5

Current Perspectives on Moral Distress

Moral distress has gained pervasive momentum as a topic of concern especially for nurses in in-patient settings.

(Weigland, Funk, 2012; Browning, 2011, Gallagher, 2012)

Multiple studies have focused upon the quantification of moral distress through the development of survey tools to measure the level of distress in specific populations.

(Corley, Elwick, Gorman, 2001; Hamric, Borchers, Epstein, 2012; Wocial & Weaver, 2013)

We don’t know what type of interventions are effective in reducing moral distress. Leggett, Wasson, Sincore & Gamelli, 2013 reported an increase in moral distress on a burn unit after a 6 week intervention.

Current Perspectives on Moral Distress

“… there are varieties of ethically significant moral distress, because the

durable values implicated in ethically significant moral distress originate in both professional and individual integrity, and because there is a variety of impediments that trigger ethically significant moral distress.”

(A Philosophical Taxonomy of Ethically Significant Moral Distress. Journal of Medicine and Philosophy, 40: 103 – 120, 2015)

7

Nursing Challenges

Nurses need to respond to:

  • Internal environmental shifting such as continually changing

patient conditions and acuity levels (Casida & Pinto-Zipp, 2008)

  • Life and death issues
  • Introduction of new technology, medications and procedures
  • Differing staffing models, nurse to patient ratios, work-force shortages

(Ingersoll, Wagner , Merk, Kirsch, Hepworth & Williams, 2002)

  • Appropriate care delivery processes to avoid errors and patient harm

8

Sources of Moral Distress

Moral distress occurs when persons know (OR believe they know) the ethically appropriate course of action, but cannot carry out that action because of:

  • Lack of time
  • Lack of supervisory/administrative support
  • Institutional or legal constraints
  • Tremendous responsibility for patient care,

but little authority

slide-4
SLIDE 4

11/13/2017 4

Perceived Causes of Moral Distress

  • Harm to patients – overly aggressive treatment
  • Inadequate pain management
  • Ineffective communication
  • Unclear treatment goals
  • Disrespecting, disregarding patient/family choices
  • Incomplete or inaccurate disclosure
  • Lack of informed consent
  • Objectifying patients
  • “Futile” treatment
  • Authority imbalance & IDT conflict
  • Inappropriate allocation of resources

10

Daily Sources of Diminished Resilience - Tugging at Heartstrings

  • Emergent needs and fast pace
  • Minimal (or lack of) extended interactions
  • Belief that professionals must learn to control and hide feelings
  • Unresolved unhappiness and emotional pain in personal

and/or professional life

  • Emotional burden of neutrality
  • Jumping from crisis to crisis; needing to deny or minimize the emotional strain or pain
  • Difficulty in setting realistic priorities and boundaries, and in asking for help
  • Exposure to psycho-social-spiritual distress in addition to other stressors
  • Decreased sensitivity to one’s own stressors
  • Inability to bond or connect with those in one’s care

11

Empirical Evidence of the Implications of Moral Distress

Consequences in nurses’ lives: Stress, burnout, job dissatisfaction; departure from the work environment and from nursing

(Hamric & Blackhall, 2007; Elpern, Covert, Kleinpell, 2005)

Immediate effects: Anger, cynicism, silent withdrawal and depression (hitting the wall and feeling nothing…“whatever”)

(Wilkinson, 1988)

Long-term effects: Self worth is jeopardized; personal and professional relationships may be affected; psychological changes, behavioral manifestations and physical symptoms occur

(Corley, 1995)

12

slide-5
SLIDE 5

11/13/2017 5

Empirical Evidence of the Implications of Moral Distress

1 in 3 nurses have experienced moral distress

(Redman & Fry, 2000)

Almost 50% of nurses studied left their work unit

  • r the profession due to moral distress

(Millette, 1994)

The intensity of moral distress was even greater than the frequency

(Corey et al. 2001; 2005; Pauly et al; 2009; Rice et al. 2008)

13

Impact of Moral Distress: Painful Feelings and Psychological Disequilibrium

Reactive Symptoms: Guilt, a sense of compromised integrity, becomes “Moral Residue” Moral Residue: “that which each of us carries with us from those times in our lives when in the face of moral distress we have seriously compromised

  • urselves, or allowed ourselves to be compromised.”

(Webster and Baylis, 2000)

“Crescendo Effect:” Cumulative moral distress + moral residue

(Epstein and Hamric, 2010)

Survey Process

Moral Distress was defined as occurring when professionals perceive that they cannot carry out what they believe to be ethically appropriate actions because of internal or external constraints. The survey tool (MDS) measured the frequency that different situations have been experienced by staff and how disturbing the experience was for each individual. The survey had 20 questions and took approximately 15 minutes to complete.

Participation in Initial MDS Survey

474 respondents = 44% response rate 81.5% were staff nurses 88% were female with 68.5% of White/Caucasian 62% were BSN Most frequently reported age group: 40 to 49 years Wide range of experience/tenure at the organization

22

Counseling - Provide support and counsel to the affected staff via Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and Pastoral Care using The 4A’s. The purpose of this support was to allow time for staff in a private setting to recall distressful events; to have time to vent about their experience and the experience of the patient and family. Ethics Committee Consult – Provide ethical decision making and support. Cognitive Learning - Offer education by physician and nursing leadership related to assessment and treatment.

Clinical Interventions for Experimental Units

  • Staff were encouraged by managers to contact either

Spiritual Care and/or EAP directly for confidential support.

  • Spiritual Care and/or EAP educated managers/leaders/CSC’s
  • n how to support and provide periodic check-ins with staff.
  • Educational flyers (“What is Moral Distress?” and “The 4A’s”)

were posted and distributed on experimental units to reinforce learning and support resources available to staff.

  • Attendees at monthly Schwartz Rounds sessions were

reminded to contact either Spiritual Care and/or EAP for confidential support.

11/13/2017 12

Clinical Interventions for Experimental Units

Consultation with Unit Managers around distressful situations resulted in supportive interventions by Spiritual Care and EAP:

  • Spiritual Care rounded on the units and informally

checked-in with individual staff.

  • Spiritual Care provided 1:1 and small group support

for affected staff.

  • Spiritual Care and/or EAP conducted formal debriefing

sessions during occurrences or shortly thereafter.

  • Sessions were open to all staff and were voluntary.

Quantitative Findings

  • Significant overall decrease in overall Total scores between Pre Intervention

and Post Intervention groups for both the control and experimental units.

  • Significant difference in this decline between Control and Experimental

groups, with the Control group having lower overall change in Total scores when compared to the Experimental group.

  • Average total scores for both the pre-intervention and post-intervention

respondents were significantly higher for those who indicated they were currently considering leaving their position.

Our Conclusion

The study findings suggested that distress levels in nurses can be reduced with a three-pronged intervention bundle over time.

38

What Came Next

The decision was made to use focus groups to determine the nature and sources of “distress” experienced by nurses. Based on the results of the focus group data , we would propose strategies to assist in managing the distress.

39

Can you tell me what was most helpful with the interventions? Is there anything that you recommend that we change about the interventions (think about the time, place or the type of interventions)? Is there anything that you would have preferred to have happen that was not

  • ffered to you?

Can you comment on the overall effectiveness of the interventions? Can you describe how you think that you have resolved your feelings as a result of the interventions? Was there anything not resolved that you would like to share?

Focus Groups Script Qualitative Findings

“Being checked in on was wonderful, I was able to talk with colleagues…” “Had flashbacks and panic attack upon coming back to work the next day…everyone was supportive and great.” “Still having mini flashbacks to that day…still have a sense of dread coming into work, bad dreams still happen… Biggest struggle is trying to honor patient’s memory without torturing myself.” “It’s that kind of support (from hospital resources/colleagues) that make a staff member want to stay….” “Having the opportunity to discuss with someone in the group who has been though a similar situation was helpful.” “Interventions helped to normalize my reaction.”

Recurring Themes from Staff Nurses’ Focus Groups: January - September 2014

41

Qualitative Findings

“Learning how to recognize it (Moral Distress) and give it a name. Hearing what others went through and learned; what they experienced.” “Having tools for early intervention. It’s almost like you need AA for Moral Distress. It takes some thinking and emotional inventory. I wish there was a ten question tool you could ask yourself.” “If you don’t reach closure, what’s the next step? It’s our job and we need to move on but you always wonder what happened in the time you were gone.” “Learning how to triage would be ideal. How do I deal with knowing if I should discuss it right away or let [staff] go home and bring it up again the next day? Knowing when to intervene and when not to is hard.” “Change the culture of thinking that ICU nurses should be tough and not need to talk and get away from certain

  • situations. If I do that I don’t have the backup and it gives me an ethical dilemma.”

Recurring Themes from Nurse Leaders Focus Groups: April – August 2014

42

slide-15
SLIDE 15

11/13/2017 15

Our Recommendations

Educate and support nurse leaders:

  • To identify Moral Distress in staff and provide “in the moment” support
  • To access additional resources (individual and/or staff debriefs)

via a process that respects staff self-determination in self-care Provide educational seminars:

  • Emotional Intelligence
  • Resilience Theory
  • Somatic Regulation Interventions

43

Our Learnings: The Paradoxical Nature of Empathy & Compassion

Neuroscience and Social Psychology Research are studying human responses to suffering related to empathy and compassion When arousal in response to another’s suffering is not regulated, it can give rise to personal distress (Eisenberg, et al., 1994), which undermines the possibility for expressing compassion Lack of self-regulation and hyper-arousal can result in self-focused behaviors such as avoidance or hyper activity aimed at relieving the distress Lack of self regulation leading to empathic “over-arousal” may shift the focus from relieving the distress of another to relieving one’s own distress

44

Our Learnings from Neuroscience Research

Somatic therapies broaden traditional (cognitive) approaches to trauma treatment

Trauma can result in:

  • Failure of the body, psyche and nervous system to process adverse events
  • Fragmented memories stored in parts of the brain with no access to speech or reasoning
  • Repetitious recounting of distressful experiences has limited impact on healing
  • Emotional support and connection with others can normalize distressful experiences,

but also lead to Re-traumatization

  • Long-term emotional residue remains, even after initial “emotional distance” is achieved
  • Cognitive thinking as a singleresource can result in:

Powerlessness Helplessness/hopelessness Physiological overwhelm in nervous system, particularly amygdala Inability to achieve deeper embodiment of the experience

Front Line Participant Feedback…

“Our office doesn’t have specific boundaries on acceptable patient

  • behavior. The number one goal is

patient engagement without regard to patient behavior.” “In our office, providers and staff do give into patient’s demands and it’s hard to set limits with patients until it gets out of hand.” “I don’t feel supported by my leader when setting limits!” “Staff is afraid that limit setting may impact patient engagement scores.” “I don’t feel all staff are agreeable to limit setting. I feel some staff take the path of least resistance, which sometimes sets the next staff up for failure.” “Mixed signals as to where the limits are within our

  • rganization.”

“I feel that if limits had been set earlier by other staff members or units, difficult situations could have been stopped or more easily de-escalated.”

RESOURCES - Code Lavender

  • The Code Lavender System is an integrative healing equivalent of a Code Blue.

It provides holistic rapid response to emotionally stressful events.

  • Services consist of a rapid response team of specialists who are called upon

when an individual – patient or family or employee – has reached his/her emotional limit.

  • In a 2008 survey of patients receiving Code Lavender therapies at Cleveland

Clinic, 93% said they were helpful and 90% said they would recommend these services to others.

  • Employees accounted for 40% of the requests. 99% said they met or

exceeded expectations and 98% said they would recommend.

  • Team includes nurses, touch therapists and chaplains and responds to all

requests within 30 minutes, then partner with EAP and the Wellness Center for long term assistance.

61

RESOURCES - RISE: Resilience in Stressful Events Program

RISE: Resilience in Stressful Events, an emotional peer support structure, supports second victims who were emotionally impacted by a stressful patient- related event or unanticipated adverse event. This RISE team is composed of a multidisciplinary peer responder team who has volunteered to support second victims when an unanticipated patient-related event occurs. Support from RISE is available to “second victims” or health care providers having difficulty coping with their emotions after patients’ adverse events and who subsequently have difficulty coping with their emotions.

  • Standardized program from John Hopkins Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality
  • Includes internal , organizational assessment, multidisciplinary peer responder team, skill

training and development, ongoing internal marketing and evaluation
