Chinese physicians reported experiencing different types of PMIEs and suffering from moral injury-related symptoms in their clinical practice. It helped to understand modifiable risk factors for moral injury, highlighting the need for systemic interventions. Healthcare institutions can mitigate moral injury and safeguard the wellbeing of healthcare workers by building peer-support networks, improving communication to address workload issues, and implementing recognition systems for ethics.
