Understanding Moral Injury: Beyond Workplace Stress

First introduced by psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Shay in 1994 while working with Vietnam veterans, moral injury describes the profound psychological harm that occurs when individuals face situations where their actions (or inaction) conflict with their core values. While the concept originated in military contexts, it has found striking relevance in various professional settings—particularly in workers' compensation, where decisions can dramatically impact lives.

Moral injury emerges when professionals:

- Witness systemic injustices they feel powerless to change
- Must make decisions that conflict with their personal ethics
- See the human cost of strictly following policies and procedures
- Experience a betrayal of "what's right" in high-stakes situations
