Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Clinical Trials

Healthcare professionals are facing an escalating crisis, with burnout rates ranging between 40% and 60% and a growing intention to leave the profession, affecting one in five physicians and one in four nurses in the coming years. While current interventions focused on individual resilience, such as mindfulness, peer support, and workload management, have been promoted as solutions, they have failed to bring about systemic improvements. This raises the question of whether other factors, such as Moral Injury, play a key role in this crisis. Moral Injury is an emerging concept that highlights the profound misalignment between healthcare workers' professional values and the reality of their practice, often exacerbated by organizational and economic constraints. The objective of this study is to describe the manifestations of Moral Injury among healthcare professionals in France. By establishing the first large-scale assessment of Moral Injury among healthcare professionals in France, this study aims to identify key organizational and personal risk factors contributing to this phenomenon. The use of Structural Equation Modeling will help build a robust theoretical model that clarifies the underlying mechanisms of Moral Injury and its interactions with broader health issues. The findings will support the development of targeted interventions focused on systemic organizational changes to improve healthcare workers' well-being and guide public health policies.
