dc.description.abstract | Moral injury (MI) concerns an emotion-based trauma-reaction following moral violations, and is
a phenomenon widely studied in refugees and occupational groups where high-stress moral
decisions must be taken (veterans, nurses, police officers). The present study aimed to widen the
scope of MI by considering social groups who may be at risk for developing moral injury, the
specific focus in this study being individuals from racial and ethnic minorities. A correlational
analysis of racial trauma in individuals from racial-ethnic minority groups and moral injury was
conducted, as well as a moderation analysis between racial trauma (X), MI (Y) and centrality of
the event(s) of racial trauma (M). Participants (N=65) completed an online survey with six
questionnaires pertaining to MI and racial trauma, the analysis of which showed no significant
correlation or moderation between the constructs. In order to improve clinical treatment of
trauma, further investigation is necessary to better understand racial trauma and MI as cases of
traumatic stress that are not encompassed by the conventional PTSD diagnosis. | |
