Beschreibung: Introduction: Moral distress arises when healthcare workers face difficult decisions without adequate information and/or when patient care is compromised due to limited resources, communication issues, or altered work routines in exceptional circumstances. While moral distress in maternity and neonatal healthcare workers (MNHCWs) has been noted, its prevalence, intensity, and impact on well-being and turnover in Sweden remain unexplored. The aim of this study was to investigate the level of disturbance and frequency of experiencing moral distress among Swedish MNHCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects on MNHCWs' well-being and intention to leave their job. Material and Methods: A longitudinal cohort study was conducted during January–May 2021 (n = 645) and January–March 2022 (n = 503), utilizing the Moral Distress Scale-Revised (MDS-R). The study was set in hospital-based maternity and neonatal units across all 21 Swedish healthcare regions and included midwives, physicians, registered nurses, and assistant nurses. Quantitative and descriptive analyses were performed, with comparisons of moral distress levels between time points and professions. The main outcome measures were moral distress (level of disturbance and frequency) and intention to leave their job. Results: Among the respondents, 6%–47% reported being frequently exposed to morally challenging situations, and 51%–91% reported a high level of disturbance in connection to such situations. Uncertain staffing, continuity-of-care challenges, and limited opportunities for patient/family counseling posed frequent moral challenges across time and professions. Of the respondents, 14% in 2021 and 18% in 2022 considered leaving their jobs due to moral distress. There were no overall significant differences in outcomes between the two time points. Conclusions: Swedish MNHCWs commonly experienced moral distress during the COVID-19 pandemic. Interventions targeting underlying reasons may be needed to ensure the well-being of MNHCWs in situations when the healthcare system is under strained working conditions.
