The
relationship between ethical climate and moral distress was investigated using
Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation.
There was a
strong negative correlation between the two variables, rho = -0.62, n = 10, p =
0.05, with high levels of ethical climate associated with lower levels of moral
distress.
