“…Leadership climate is central in predicting racial and ethnic harassment and discrimina tion, as well as other forms of discrimination; therefore, the leadership's communication of its commitment to a discriminationfree workplace is essential (Calkins et al, 2022;Daniel et al, 2022;Farris et al, 2020;Marquis et al, 2017;O'Keefe, Hing, and Catano, 2023). Studies have found that leaders affect the climate of an organization, which in turn affects the behav ior of service members (Marquis et al, 2017;O'Keefe, Hing, and Catano, 2023).…”

Space Command (USSPACECOM) was reestablished as a combatant command in 2019 and has a diverse workforce. Its main goals are to achieve full operational capabilities and to maintain space superiority. To ensure this command's success, it is important to enhance the resilience of its personnel. In this report, we offer best practices to enhance resilience by preventing harmful individual behaviors that reduce resiliency, identify some challenges and barriers to resilience program implementation, and propose recommendations to address these challenges and barriers in the future.The research reported here was completed in January 2024 and underwent security review with the sponsor and the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review before public release.

“…Yet there is less known research on the indirect influence of resilience on moral courage via moral climate (Mohammadi et al., 2022). Studies have shown that hospital managers, including hospital and nurse leaders, have an inescapable responsibility for establishing and maintaining a positive ethical climate (O'Keefe et al., 2023). Because clinical nurses perceive an ethical climate primarily through interpersonal interactions (Olson, 1998), such as nurse–patient, doctor–nurse, and nurse–nurse relationships, managers can enhance the ethical climate by developing policies that encourage interpersonal interactions (Carpes Lanes et al., 2023).…”

AimThe purpose of this study was to explore whether clinical ethical climate mediates the relationship between resilience and moral courage in a population of clinical nurses during COVID‐19, and if moral distress faced by nurses is a moderating factor.BackgroundResilience can help nurses maintain their personal health during COVID‐19 when they face great physical and psychological shock and are prone to health problems. Moral courage, as an ethical competency, helps nursing staff in adhering to the principles and values of professional ethics. There is a strong correlation between resilience and moral courage, but the mechanism by which resilience contributes to moral courage is unclear.MethodA cross‐sectional study research is designed. Three hundred thirty clinical nurses from six hospitals in Beijing, Sichuan, and Fujian of China were included between August 2021 and March 2022. The survey instruments include the Nurses' Moral Courage Scale (NMCS), Connor‐Davidson Resilience Scale (CD‐RISC), Moral Distress Scale‐Revised (MDS‐R), and Hospital Ethical Climate Scale (HECS).ResultsEthical climate mediates 15% of the relationship between resilience and moral courage. The association between resilience and ethical climate, as well as the indirect relationship between resilience and moral courage, was modified by moral distress.DiscussionThis study investigated the mechanisms by which resilience affects moral courage in clinical nurses in the context of COVID‐19, suggesting that moral courage can be increased by alleviating moral distress and increasing ethical climate.Implications for nursing and health policyThis study confirms the mediating effect of moral climate on the relationship between resilience and moral courage, as well as the moderating effect of moral distress. Hospital policymakers should value nurses' psychological resilience and moral courage, develop effective policies to prevent and manage stressors, build social support systems, and create a positive ethical climate.
