However, limited context\u2010specific evidence is available on how moral injury and burnout are jointly associated with the quality of professional communication among OR nurses. Addressing this gap may help inform strategies to improve staff well\u2010being, team functioning, and patient safety in high\u2010stakes perioperative settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross\u2010sectional analytical study was conducted between March and May 2025. A total of 307 OR nurses were recruited from six tertiary referral hospitals in Shiraz, Iran. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Moral Injury Symptom Scale\u2013Healthcare Professionals (MISS\u2010HP), the Operating Room Nurses\u2019 Burnout Questionnaire, and the Professional Communication Questionnaire for Operating Room Personnel. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Moral injury was significantly and positively correlated with burnout. In the multivariate regression model, moral injury was positively associated with professional communication, whereas burnout showed a negative association.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Moral injury and burnout were associated with professional communication among OR nurses. While burnout was negatively associated with communication, the unexpected positive adjusted association between moral injury and professional communication should be interpreted cautiously and may reflect ethically motivated communication, moral sensitivity, or professional advocacy rather than a beneficial effect of moral injury itself.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Implications for Nursing Management<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nursing managers should consider integrated strategies to reduce burnout, support nurses facing morally challenging situations, and strengthen professional communication within surgical teams. Practical approaches may include workload monitoring, fair shift allocation, moral resilience training, ethics debriefing, supportive supervision, and team\u2010based communication training. Such interventions may help promote nurses\u2019 psychological well\u2010being while supporting safer and more effective communication in OR settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/jonm\/4905589","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]],"date-time":"2026-07-29T08:36:50Z","timestamp":1785314210000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Predictive Role of Moral Injury and Burnout in Professional Communication: A Cross\u2010Sectional Study Among Operating Room Nurses"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-0885-9853","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amirali","family":"Alizadeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zahra","family":"Maleki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mahdiyeh","family":"Shahmoradi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-7677-1981","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fatemeh","family":"Davodabadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1261-7318","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fatemeh","family":"Vizeshfar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/23779608231186247"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12913-020-05192-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12351-024-00884-z"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/qhc.13.5.330"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/5871846"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12912-021-00778-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/nop2.830"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12913-019-4362-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10872981.2023.2194508"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/09697330241247323"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/09697330241281376"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2025.1562209"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12910-025-01175-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1745017901814010132"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5812\/ans-144286"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1495","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2014.07.013","article-title":"The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Statement: Guidelines for Reporting Observational Studies","volume":"12","author":"Von Elm E.","year":"2014","journal-title":"International Journal of Surgery"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10943-020-01065-w"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2022.978572"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-024-56272-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10410236.2018.1484268"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2191","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2013.281053","article-title":"World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki: Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects","volume":"310","author":"World Medical Association","year":"2013","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-orgpsych-120920-053933"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_23_2","unstructured":"LazarusR.
