Key Points Question How did health care workers experience moral injury during the COVID-19 pandemic before the availability of vaccines? Findings In this qualitative study of 1344 health care professionals in 2020, respondents reported significant changes in their personal and professional lives during the course of the pandemic. Common themes were feeling isolated from non–health care professionals, alienated from patients, and betrayed by coworkers, administrators, and the public. Meaning Moral injury can result from chronic stressors in morally injurious environments; leadership must identify and address these stressors to effectively support health care professionals as COVID-19 continues to strain staff’s physical, mental, and emotional resources.
