A Scoping Review of the Components of Moral Resilience: Its Role in Addressing Moral Injury or Moral Distress for High-Risk Occupation Workers

Abstract

Purpose of Review: High-risk occupation workers (HROWs) are often exposed to potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs) which can contribute to moral distress (MD) or moral injury (MI). Moral resilience (MR) has been proposed as a protective or moderating factor to protect HROWs from harm caused by PMIE exposures. The current review was designed to: 1) update the definition of MR to a broader context of HROWs; 2) identify components of MR for HROWs; and 3) determine demographic variables that may impact MR development.
