I left APS more than 20 years ago but the pattern was clear even then.

If the minister didn’t like the advice we were giving they would buy their advice elsewhere.

If they didn’t like what the evidence was showing they’d buy their evidence elsewhere.

I wrote briefings that never got up. I wrote tenders & assessed applications for research projects that were transparently fake.

I left. #MoralInjury

Under Brian Howe we had a housing policy. It was a good time to be working for APS.

Since then we’ve seen escalating levels of obfuscation & spin in the vacuum where policy should be. And cynical exploration of vulnerable people for political ends.

For those who stayed, the price of a career has been #MoralInjury

An excellent long article on the moral crisis in health care, focusing on physicians (we nurses have always been subject to being torn between being employees and being professionals) and on the horrible role venture capitalism plays.

Highly recommended reading. No paywall, my gift

Excellent article on "moral injury" among #doctors forced by #hospitals and #insurance companies "to stray from the #ethical principles that were supposed to govern their profession."
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/15/magazine/doctors-moral-crises.html

Wendy Dean borrowed the term from military psychiatrists who applied to #soldiers. She then applied it to #physicians.

Someone could write a good article or book applying it to #teachers.

#MoralInjury

“many physicians have found themselves subjected to practices more commonly associated with manual laborers in auto plants and Amazon warehouses, like having their productivity tracked on an hourly basis and being pressured by management to work faster”

#Burnout in der #Medizin maskiert #MoralInjury

2021 zeigte eine Studie mit 3292 TN aus deutschen Kliniken während #COVID19 höhere Belastung durch moralischen Distress. Das Ausmaß kam vor der #Pandemie nur in der Pflege auf Intensivstationen vor.

Besonders betroffen:
Pflegefachpersonen & MTA.
Größte Korrelation bei #Depression, #Angst-Symptomen, Arbeitsauslastung & Kontakt mit #SARSCoV2.

Veteran #EPs aren’t the only ones feeling #burnout & #moralinjury. New attendings are already feeling overworked and exploited. @ERGoddessMD says knowing the newest EPs feel tortured by the career they worked so hard for should be a wakeup call for #EM. http://bit.ly/3J0uGho

"Before I went into this field, no one told me that the helplessness that comes with working in mental health is actually constant moral injury."

Navigating the demands of healthcare: Finding balance

The demands of the healthcare industry can often lead to work-life imbalance and burnout. But it's important to remember that perfectionism is a part of who we are and trying to obliterate it completely is not the solution.

For me, part of the war-related moral injury is that people know what war does. They know how it affects people. And yet we still go to war. This is so wrong. It feels line a betrayal.

#moralinjury #betrayal

I keep hearing about the #MoralInjury faced by #healthcare workers because of #covid. But in the US, #HealthCareWorkers were already subjected to moral injuries around attempting to treat uninsured and under-insured patients. Our system runs on moral injury, but it doesn't have to be that way. #MedicareForAll #UniversalHealthcare #pandemic
