          Abstract

          Veterinarians stand in many contradictory positions, such as moral and ethical representatives of animals and their welfare and the clinic owner, which makes income for them and their families. The article will look at factors in decision making significantly impacting veterinary professionals’ mental health. Distress is caused by high societal pressure, as veterinarians must fulfill their profession's requirements. Together with working conditions, it negatively impacts their mental health. The article emphasizes the need for veterinary professionals and future veterinary professionals to have proficiency in animal welfare, animal ethics, and primarily moral decision making. Thus, critical thinking and ethical decision making should be discussed more in the profession and veterinary education.

              Moral distress in nursing: contributing factors, outcomes and interventions.

              Moral distress has been widely reviewed across many care contexts and among a range of disciplines. Interest in this area has produced a plethora of studies, commentary and critique. An overview of the literature around moral distress reveals a commonality about factors contributing to moral distress, the attendant outcomes of this distress and a core set of interventions recommended to address these. Interventions at both personal and organizational levels have been proposed. The relevance of this overview resides in the implications moral distress has on the nurse and the nursing workforce: particularly in regard to quality of care, diminished workplace satisfaction and physical health of staff and increased problems with staff retention.
