Distress Scale

• Background Moral distress is caused by situations in which the ethically appropriate course of action is known but cannot be taken. Moral distress is thought to be a serious problem among nurses, particularly those who practice in critical care. It has been associated with job dissatisfaction and loss of nurses from the workplace and the profession.• Objectives To assess the level of moral distress of nurses in a medical intensive care unit, identify situations that result in high levels of moral distress, explore implications of moral distress, and evaluate associations among moral distress and individual characteristics of nurses.• Methods A descriptive, questionnaire study was used. A total of 28 nurses working in a medical intensive care unit anonymously completed a 38-item moral distress scale and described implications of experiences of moral distress.• Results Nurses reported a moderate level of moral distress overall. Highest levels of distress were associated with the provision of aggressive care to patients not expected to benefit from that care. Moral distress was significantly correlated with years of nursing experience. Nurses reported that moral distress adversely affected job satisfaction, retention, psychological and physical well-being, self-image, and spirituality. Experience of moral distress also influenced attitudes toward advance directives and participation in blood donation and organ donation.• Conclusions Critical care nurses commonly encounter situations that are associated with high levels of moral distress. Experiences of moral distress have implications that extend well beyond job satisfaction and retention. Strategies to mitigate moral distress should be developed and tested.

Membrane Oxygenation

Provision of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as part of support escalation in severe refractory acute respiratory failure in England is provided by five specialist centres that operate within a well-defined quality and safety framework. We conducted a qualitative study of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation retrieval service provided by one of the five centres. We analysed 176 consecutive debrief reports written between October 2013 and April 2018 by the consultant. Main identified issues were short delays in retrieval predominantly due to insufficient communication or equipment failure. All issues were addressed in subsequent practice. Our results suggest a need for improved communication between the referring intensive care unit and retrieving team. Our findings highlight the value of regular reflection-based evaluation to ensure continued provision of safe and efficient service.
