Two bar graphs, labeled A and B. Graph A, "Personal fulfillment," shows a decreasing professional fulfillment score as moral distress rises. Graph B, "Intent to leave or reduce hours," indicates physician intent relative to moral distress.

the right thing is thwarted by conditions under
which the person or group does not have perceived
control. #traumainformed #moraldistress

Another coffee isn’t going to fix kot distress

Coffee won’t fix moral distress. Neither will sweets (sadly). Moral distress isn’t a personal failing—it’s the cost of working in systems that don’t align with your values. Self-care alone won’t erase it, but collective care might. #SelfCarePsychology #MoralDistress #CollectiveCare
