Description
Runkang Zhao and colleagues sort moral injury among medical staff into severity profiles in a 2026 survey. A convenience sample of 1,001 staff answered questionnaires on moral injury, anxiety, depression, and emotion control habits. Profile analysis searched for hidden subgroups rather than one average pattern.
Three profiles emerged: a low injury group near 63 percent, an emotion injury group near 25 percent, and a value injury group near 12 percent. Reappraisal, a reframing strategy, carried moral injury into negative emotions overall, while suppression did not. Within profiles the routes differed, which supports tailored psychological support by injury type.
