Abstract
Nurses are indispensable to the healthcare system, playing a vital role in patient care across various settings. While the nursing profession can be rewarding, it is also fraught with significant emotional and ethical challenges [1]. Among these challenges, moral distress stands out as a critical issue that can profoundly affect the mental health and well-being of nursing staff. Moral distress arises when nurses recognize the ethically appropriate course of action but cannot follow through due to external constraints such as institutional policies, lack of resources, or conflicting professional responsibilities. This unresolved distress can accumulate over time and contribute to more severe mental health outcomes, including depression [2].
