Out-of-hours decision-making in deteriorating patients by foundation year doctors: Relationship to moral distress.
Background: Moral distress (MD) refers to psychological unease when healthcare professionals identify morally correct actions to take but are constrained in their ability to take those actions.
Methods: This study evaluated the relationship between out-of-hours decisions and MD among 40 Foundation Year 2 (FY2) doctors. They were asked to choose the 'expected' and the 'right' management options for five out-of-hours scenarios and complete an adapted Measure of Moral Distress for Health Professionals (MMD-HP) questionnaire.
Results: 28/40 (70%) reported discordance between 'expected' and 'right' options more frequently than concordance. The mean total MMD-HP score was low: 64.9 (SD = 26.9), range 13-143, maximum 288. The association between decision-making discordance and MMD-HP score was weak.
Conclusion: Out-of-hours decisions by FY2 doctors were characterised by doing what is 'expected' rather than what is perceived to be 'right'. Providing guidance regarding decision-making in deteriorating patients is needed for patient safety and staff well-being.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
