This perspective article explores moral injury among wound care clinicians. The author argues that systemic issues such as resource shortages, understaffing and fragmented care often prevent clinicians from providing the treatment they believe patients need. Unlike burnout, moral injury refers to the psychological and ethical harm caused by these constraints. The article highlights how chronic wounds often reflect broader social and healthcare inequities and calls for greater recognition of moral injury, supportive workplace environments and access to mental health and peer-support resources. Sustaining quality wound care requires supporting both patients and the well-being of clinicians.
