摘要

Moral injury is highly correlated with several adverse outcomes among veterans; however, no research has examined the impact of moral injury on academic outcomes. As part of a 17-week pilot longitudinal educational program study, veteran participants (n = 33) completed a baseline survey which included a measure of moral injury. During the first four weeks of the program, the following outcomes were assessed via learning management software: performance on weekly quizzes (POWQ), number of logins (NOL), and module activity completion percentage (CP). Being classified with moral injury was negatively associated with POWQ (b = − 15.59, 95% CI = − 19.89, − 10.96), NOL (b = − 0.69, 95% CI = − 1.86, − 0.19), and CP (b = − 8.76, 95% CI = − 11.29, − 6.80) in bootstrapped linear regression models. Although replication of these results is needed in a larger sample, it is possible that moral injury is associated with poorer academic outcomes among student veterans.
