Erratum to: Communities of practice for supporting health systems change: a missed opportunity

Understanding how to prevent, treat, or minimize pain in children is critical for their future healthy development. The focus of research has been to generate new knowledge on pain in the developing nervous system and to determine effective prevention and treatment modalities. However, evidence generated from research is often not effectively implemented by professional and lay care providers, policymakers, and others. To enhance our collective efforts to protect children from the immediate and long-term consequences of pain, we need to determine effective knowledge translation (KT) strategies targeted at the individual, organization, or society. Inconsistent use of terminology is common. Therefore, we will use the term KT to refer to the more general iterative process for shaping and tailoring of evidence for the targeted knowledge user, whilst implementation is the process used to integrate (promote the uptake of new knowledge) and communicate new knowledge with the goal of changing behavior, and dissemination refers to the spread and mobilization of knowledge. KT that involves organizations and systems is the focus of this chapter.

This paper proposes communities of practice (CoP) as a process to build moral resilience in healthcare settings. We introduce the starting point of moral distress that arises from ethical challenges when actions of the healthcare professional are constrained. We examine how situations such as the current COVID-19 pandemic can exponentially increase moral distress in healthcare professionals. Then, we explore how moral resilience can help cope with moral distress. We propose the term collective moral resilience to capture the shared capacity arising from mutual engagement and dialogue in group settings, towards responding to individual moral distress and towards building an ethical practice environment. Finally, we look at CoPs in healthcare and explore how these group experiences can be used to build collective moral resilience.
