Abstract

Despite the advances in studies conducted among healthcare professionals to explore the impact of the pandemic on their mental health, a large population still continues to display COVID-19 related psychological complaints. There has been recent awareness of moral injury related guilt and shame among doctors and nurses. However, the factors associated with moral injury have not received much attention, due to which the issue still persists. This study aims to explore the role of guilt-shame proneness, and locus of control in predicting moral injury among healthcare professionals. MISS-HP, PGI Locus of Control, and GASP scales were administered to a sample of 806 healthcare professionals. Pearson correlation coefficient indicated a significant positive relationship between moral injury and guilt-shame proneness, as well as the locus of control. Regression analysis indicated a significant role of guilt-shame proneness and locus of control in predicting moral injury. In conclusion, while studying moral injury, it becomes equally important to consider these factors to understand the concept better.

内疚-羞耻倾向和控制点在预测医护人员道德伤害中的作用

尽管在医疗保健专业人员中进行的研究取得了进展，探讨了大流行对他们心理健康的影响，但仍有大量人口继续表现出与COVID-19相关的心理抱怨。最近，医生和护士开始意识到与道德伤害相关的内疚和羞耻。然而，与道德伤害相关的因素并没有受到足够的重视，因此这一问题仍然存在。本研究旨在探讨内疚感-羞耻感倾向和控制点在预测医护人员道德伤害中的作用。MISS-HP、PGI控制点和GASP量表对806名医疗保健专业人员进行了抽样调查。Pearson相关系数显示，道德伤害与内疚-羞耻倾向、控制点呈显著正相关。回归分析表明，内疚-羞耻倾向和控制点对道德伤害有显著的预测作用。综上所述，在研究道德伤害的同时，考虑这些因素以更好地理解这一概念也同样重要。
