Overview:
Moral distress (MD) was first defined by Andrew Jameton as an instance in which the individual, “knows the right thing to do, but institutional constraints make it nearly impossible to pursue the right course of action." (Andrew Jameton, Nursing Practice: The Ethical Issues, Prentice-Hall Series in the Philosophy of Medicine (Englewood Cliffs, N.J: Prentice-Hall, 1984). Continued study of MD, particularly within the field of nursing ethics, has extensively broadened scholastic understanding of the phenomenon. However, such has actually functioned to reduce conceptual clarity and thus also limited the development of any evidence-based, efficacious interventions for MD. In the wake of COVID-19 wherein healthcare staff psycho/social/spiritual wellbeing has chipped away due to recurrent exposure to potential moral injurious events (PMIEs), it is exceedingly important for healthcare chaplains to have deliberate conversation about imagining a way forward. This webinar will cover the history of MD within healthcare and explore how chaplains are uniquely situated and equipped as theological and spiritual care experts to assess for MD and potentially facilitate healing with evidence-based practices.
Learning Objectives:
1. Review up to date literature regarding healthcare provider (HCP) moral distress/Injury (MD/MI)
2. Develop familiarity with HCP MD quantitative measures
3. Explore the current evidence base for potential interventions
Presenters:
Durham Harris is currently a hospice chaplain in Omaha, Nebraska and he soon will be relocating to the Cincinnati, Ohio area to work with Kettering Health System. He completed his Master of Theological Studies at Emory University, Candler School of Theology in 2018 and his Doctor of Ministry at Vanderbilt Divinity School in May of this year. Durham's clinical and research expertise lies at the intersection of critical care, palliative care, evidence-based practices, and moral distress/injury in healthcare workers.
Durham grew up in north Georgia and attended First Baptist Church of Gainesville for most of his life (a Cooperative Baptist Fellowship affiliate). However, in recent years he has begun to explore and embrace a new spiritual identity - Quaker - given his love of contemplative, reflective spiritual practices and existential theology.
In his free time, Durham enjoys spending time with his wife, Tiffany, and his dog, Finnegan, going for walks in the park and exploring outdoor spaces."
