Disse funnene skal diskuteres opp mot relevant teori. Metode: Et systematisk litteraturstudiet med en IMRAD struktur. Det har blir gjort et litteratursøk i ulike databaser for å finne forskningsartikler som svarer på problemstillingen. Sju forskningsartikler ble inkludert Resultat: I analysedelen av oppgaven ble det utarbeidet tre hovedtemaer hvor sykepleiere opplevde moralsk stress: 1) Konflikt i behandling av pasient 2) Utfordringer relatert til samhandling med legene 3) Organisatoriske oppgaver som begrenser sykepleiere.
