Measure of Moral Distress for Healthcare Professionals (MMD-HP) |
Moral distress occurs when professionals cannot carry out what they believe to be ethically appropriate actions because of constraints or barriers. This survey lists situations that occur in clinical practice. If you have experienced these situations they may or may not have been morally distressing to you. Please indicate how frequently you have experienced each item. Also, rank how distressing these situations are for you. If you have never experienced a particular situation, select “0” (never) for frequency.
Even if you have not experienced a situation, please indicate how distressed you would be if it occurred in your practice. Note that you will respond to each item by checking the appropriate rows for two dimensions: Frequency and Level of distress.
