Objective: This integrative review aimed to identify the common characteristics of moral distress in nursing and distinguish it from other types of distress by examining nurses' perspectives in the literature. These insights will help update existing tools and create new ones to capture moral distress better, guiding the development and implementation of strategies to support nurses in addressing this challenge.
Methods: Whittemore and Knafl's integrative review method was employed to guide a systematic search for literature in three databases (EBSCO Medline, CINAHL, and PubMed).
