皆さん、今までに以下のようなことを感じたことはないだろうか?
私はいったいこの患者に何をしているのだろう?
この患者に間違った治療を施していないだろうか?
われわれはここで何をしているんだ?
この患者の「命」を延ばしているのだろうか、あるいは苦しみを与え続けているだけなのだろうか?
なぜ他のメンバーは私に反対するのだろう?
─ こんなときあなたは道徳的苦痛(モラルディストレス)を経験しているのです。

「Just Keep Breathing」は実際にPICU(小児集中治療室)で日々忙しく働く医師、看護師、呼吸療法士、栄養士から聞き取った数々の実話を元に作った映画です。2007年から5年間CIHR (Canadian Institutes of Health Research)からの助成を受け、カナダの8つのPICUで行われた道徳的苦痛に関する研究の一環として作成されました。
集中治療で働いていると、患者あるいは親からの同意取得、無意味と思えるようなケア、延命医療、患者やその家族の生活の質などについての倫理的な問題に日々遭遇するのではないでしょうか。このような時、倫理的な問題があることを指摘し解決しようとする努力を怠ると、チーム医療は音を立てて崩れ落ちることになります。道徳的苦痛が解決されずに放置されると、悲惨な結果が待っているのです。つまり、このことをチーム内で理解しあい解決策を探ることが非常に重要なのです。
この映画は、多職種チームにおける同情、献身も描いています。多忙極めるPICUでの診療の中で、「見えないところ」にあるもの、つまりチームワークや各専門家としての個人個人の意見がどのようにこの事象に影響を与えているのかについても描いています。
「Just Keep Breathing」は集中治療領域において学際的(interdisciplinary)チームワークや健全な仕事環境を達成維持するために必要であろう「対話」や「理解」を促進することを目的に作成されました。専門性が極めて高いPICUの医療従事者の不必要な離職を防ぎ、ひいては重症患者あるいはその家族により良いケアを提供することにつながることを祈っています。


As a clinician, have you ever had thoughts like these?
What are we doing to this patient? It feels wrong to put this patient through this treatment! What are we doing here? Are we extending her life or her suffering? Why is everyone on my team against me on this?

You may be experiencing Moral Distress!
Just Keep Breathing is a film depicting real stories of Moral Distress, as told by doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists and dieticians, who work in a busy Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).
The film was created to disseminate the results of a multidisciplinary research project done from 2007 to 2012 in 8 PICUs in Canada. It was funded by the CIHR (Canadian Institutes of Health Research).

The ICU team faces daily ethical questions regarding issues such as consent, futile care, use of life sustaining technology, and quality of life for patients and their families. Team functioning can be severely affected when ethical challenges are not addressed or resolved successfully. Given the serious implications of unresolved moral distress, it is necessary to gain a better understanding about this important issue among ICU teams.

At the same time, the movie shows the compassion and the dedication of the multidisciplinary team, by revealing the “behind the scenes” motions of a busy PICU, the team work that it is necessary and elements of personal reflection about our profession as care givers.

“Just keep breathing” aims to facilitate dialogue and understanding within the ICU community, contributing to the promotion of interdisciplinary teamwork and ultimately fostering a healthier work environment. This may positive impact on the retention of highly specialized PICU staff and, consequently, improve the care provided to the critically ill patient and their families.
