Abstract
Moral distress is identified as a significant experience for health professionals in clinical settings and has been widely explored; its existence is verified across extensive research in acute care settings. The negative impacts of moral distress have highlighted the detrimental outcomes for professionals, organisations, and patients. A narrative review of the literature identified a large body of research examining moral distress in individual health professionals. However, a gap in the literature exists in examining moral distress in the context of multidisciplinary teams, and the ways in which these teams influence the experience. The end-of-life care setting became a focus for this research after it was highlighted as a time when moral distress arose frequently. These deficits provide the question for this research.
