Moral distress is a common phenomenon found in all areas of nursing practice with a high prevalence in specialties such as critical care nursing. The under-management of moral distress is associated with the development of burnout, issues with nursing turnover, and patient safety concerns. Identification of effective interventions to address moral distress remains a novel topic of investigation. The aim of this project was to explore the use of debriefings and reflective practices to address and alleviate moral distress. The population of interest was comprised of nurses working in all acute care areas, including adult and pediatric populations, with a focus on critical care. A narrative literature review was completed using a combination of both quantitative and qualitative studies. Database searches were conducted on both MEDLINE and CINAHL. A total of 10 studies were included in the review. The majority of the studies utilized interventions with both an educational and reflective or debriefing component. A variety of approaches were used in relation to intervention implementation including timing, the profession of both the participants and facilitators, moral distress measurement instrument, and intervention duration and frequency. Most of the studies did not find a significant change in moral distress levels or severity between preand post-implementation of the moral distress intervention. No longitudinal studies were conducted to assess the long-term implementation of programs or moral distress measurements. Given the high prevalence and cost of moral distress in the nursing profession, more investigation into interventions is required.
