Abstract

Objective

The purpose of this study was to explore personal and organizational factors that contribute to burnout and moral distress in a Canadian academic intensive care unit (ICU) healthcare team. Both of these issues have a significant impact on healthcare providers, their families, and the quality of patient care. These themes will be used to design interventions to build team resilience.

Methods

This is a qualitative study using focus groups to elicit a better understanding of stakeholder perspectives on burnout and moral distress in the ICU team environment. Thematic analysis of transcripts from focus groups with registered intensive care nurses (RNs), respiratory therapists (RTs), and physicians (MDs) considered causes of burnout and moral distress, its impact, coping strategies, as well as suggestions to build resilience.

Results

Six focus groups, each with four to eight participants, were conducted. A total of 35 participants (six MDs, 21 RNs, and eight RTs) represented 43% of the MDs, 18.8% of the RNs, and 20.0% of the RTs. Themes were concordant between the professions and included: 1) organizational issues, 2) exposure to high-intensity situations, and 3) poor team experiences. Participants reported negative impacts on emotional and physical well-being, family dynamics, and patient care. Suggestions to build resilience were categorized into the three main themes: organizational issues, exposure to high intensity situations, and poor team experiences.

Conclusions

Intensive care unit team members described their experiences with moral distress and burnout, and suggested ways to build resilience in the workplace. Experiences and suggestions were similar between the interdisciplinary teams.
