Description
A cross-sectional questionnaire was performed between May and August 2021 involving 206 nurses and physicians working in intensive care units (ICUs) in a large urban academic hospital. The study used the Ethical Decision-Making Climate Questionnaire (EDMCQ), the Measure of Moral Distress for Healthcare Professionals (MMD-HP) tool, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient to study the respondents' ethical climate, moral distress, and intention to leave their jobs between the different ICU types. The questionnaire collected answers through SurveyMonkey.
