Abstract

Abstract: Objective To understand the research status of moral distress of emergency and critical care nurses at home and abroad. Methods PubMed,EMBASE,the Cochrane Library,CINAHL,Scopus,China biomedical literature database,CNKI,VIP Chinese journal database and Wanfang database were searched from the establishment of the database to March 2021. Literature screening and data extraction were carried out. Results A total of 35 literatures were included. The results showed that the influencing factors of moral distress of emergency and critical care nurses included general demographic characteristics,personal internal factors,external factors and specific clinical situations. Different intervention strategies were adopted to deal with the moral distress of nurses,including group discussion,salon activities,course lectures,narrative writing and so on. Before and after the intervention,the changes of nurses' moral distress have not been consistent. Conclusion Many factors have an impact on the moral distress of nurses in emergency and critical care. Intervention strategies that combine various forms and are suitable for national conditions and culture should be adopted.
