Abstract
Recently, Johnstone and Hutchinson (2015) called for abandoning the construct of "moral distress". For various reasons, they believe that too much attention is paid to it in the nursing literature, that the studies are not sound and that calling for action to relieve moral distress may be a moral imposition in the lives of our patients, families and colleagues.
