Webinar on minority nursing, moral injury and distress in historical trauma perspective

Lily An Kim, a director at the Asia Pacific Peace Museum in Toronto and a doctoral graduate in practical theology, will explore the historical, ethical, and cultural dimensions of minority nursing. She will highlight modern impacts such as automation, AI, and related pressures that have exacerbated workforce strain in healthcare. Heightened by the lack of recognition of diverse identities and perspectives, quantitative metrics for measuring success and assumptions in healthcare technology each played a role in the failures at capturing women's lived experience and theology.

This webinar discusses historical trauma, nursing dilemmas, and their potential aftermath—including moral injury and "spiritual mutism" (An Kim, 2019). Increasingly, as practitioners encounter issues similar to the challenges faced by marginalised groups in nursing, their recognition and alarming exodus warrant a newfound attention. This should serve to emphasise the importance of solidarity, of mentoring for resilience, and of recovering a deeper meaning of mercy for women in the profession.
