Nurses and technicians are constantly faced with moral dilemmas in their work. Under the influence of moral distress, they experience emotional, physical and professional consequences that can harm their work environment, patients, and the entire organization. In this situation, dissatisfaction, a feeling of inferiority, reduced self-confidence, exhaustion, avoidance of the workplace etc. appear. Based on all of the above, the goal of this research was to determine the incidence and frequency of moral distress among nurses and technicians during the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus. The survey was conducted online via a Google form on a sample of 96 participants, and the obtained data were statistically analyzed in the SPSS 23 program (IBM SPSS, Statistics for Windows, Version 23.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp). Descriptive data are presented as a percentage, arithmetic mean with standard deviations and range of results with internal reliability coefficient Cronbach alpha, while hypotheses were tested by t-test for independent samples and analysis of variance. The obtained results indicate the fact that nurses have higher levels of moral distress than their fellow technicians, as well as the fact that the level of moral distress does not depend on the level of education. In addition, the results show that nurses and technicians with less than five years of work experience, as well as those who cared for a larger number of COVID-19 positive patients, were under a higher level of moral distress. The data presented indicate the problem of a shortage of nurses and technicians in Croatian healthcare, as well as a high level of moral distress among them.
