We sought to examine the contributory factors as well as consequences of moral injury amongst healthcare workers within mental healthcare settings. Several databases were searched for relevant studies from database inception until May 2023. Keywords and concepts included moral injury and distress in mental healthcare and psychiatry. We identified 961 studies, of which 48 were assessed for eligibility. Eventually, 35 studies were included in the review. Papers were selected for inclusion if 1) they included mental healthcare professionals (MHP) regardless of practice setting, 2) moral injury as experienced by MHP was one of their main variables of interest, 3) were written in English. Year of publication, location of study, participant characteristics, study design, settings in which injury occur (context), factors contributing to moral injury (contributors), and its effects on MHP (consequences) were extracted from the studies. The majority of studies were conducted in the West ( n  = 26, 74.3%). Contributors to moral injury were found at the individual (e.g. poor competence), practice setting (e.g. lack of resources), and organizational levels (e.g. inconsistent policies). Moral injury had negative repercussions for the individual (e.g. psychological and physical symptoms), healthcare teams (e.g. lack of trust and empathy), and healthcare system (e.g. staff attrition). Seen through the moral habitability framework, interventions must include an acknowledgment of the influence of various factors on the ability of MHP to enact their moral agency, and seek to establish safe moral communities within a supportive moral climate.
