Moral distress occurs when one feels unable to take what they believe to be an ethically appropriate or right course of action, including avoiding wrongdoing or harm, because of institutionalized obstacles. It is a psychological response to an experience of moral conflict or moral constraint, which is especially likely to occur during public health emergencies and in other situations when there are extreme resource limitations affecting patient care and the safety of health care workers.

On parle de détresse morale lorsqu'une personne connaît la bonne action à faire ou le geste éthique à poser, y compris d'éviter d'accomplir un acte répréhensible ou préjudiciable, mais que des obstacles organisationnels l'empêchent d'agir en ce sens. Il s'agit d'une réponse psychologique à un conflit ou à des contraintes d'ordre moral, des situations qui surviennent durant une crise de santé publique et dans d'autres situations[,] créant une pénurie extrême de ressources, où les soins aux patients et la sécurité des travailleurs de la santé sont touchés.
