Moral injury is the psychological, social, and spiritual distress that arises from actions or inactions that violate one’s deeply held moral beliefs and values.
It’s not a formal diagnosis but a concept describing the profound impact of events that contradict a person’s moral compass, often leading to feelings of guilt, shame, and betrayal.
Moral injury can result from mismanagement of workplace psychosocial hazards and it is important to be aware of in managing risk factors for psychological injury within the workplace.
