Moral distress--the role of ethics consultation in the NICU.
Full Abstract
Moral distress is a common occurrence for individuals involved in the care of critically ill infants. The ability to reason through difficult situations is often complicated by intensely emotional circumstances. Ethics consultation in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is a useful tool for caregivers and families who face moral problems. Understanding the responsibility of caregivers and parents to act as independent moral agents is an essential element in reducing moral distress and working collaboratively to resolve moral problems.
