1Chamberlain College of Nursing.
Background:
Moral distress can be predisposed when nurses are exposed to ambiguous moral situations.
Purpose:
Is to test a conceptual model based on Roy adaptation model (RAM) to examine the relationship among workplace stress, conscience stress, and moral distress mediated by coping.
Design:
A correlational, cross sectional.
Results:
Data were collected from 199 licensed nurses. The findings indicated that workplace stress was related negatively to coping processes (β = -.12) and that stress of conscience was predictive of greater use of coping process (β = -.21).
Conclusion:
The results indicated that the model suggested based on RAM is saturated and is the perfect fit. However, the alternative models indicated that workplace stress moderately predicted moral distress.
