Course description: This presentation will discuss case studies and examples of moral distress experienced by speech-language pathologists in dysphagia management. Sheather & Fidler (2021) define moral distress as “a psychological harm arising when people are forced to make, or witness, decisions or actions that contradict their core moral values”. Moral distress in healthcare will be defined as compared to a moral dilemma or ethical dilemma. The relationship of moral distress and burnout will be identified. Finally, strategies to cope with the psychological harm and institutional barriers will be examined.
