RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Medical work requires complete dedication to work, long hours of absence from home and family, as well as personal sacrifice on various issues. This results in impaired quality of life, and the phenomenon of depression and suicide is more common among physicians than in the general population. The impairment in quality of life and function was defined for years as burnout, and this figure of speech reflected the physician's inability to cope with existing pressures. In recent years, the concept of 'moral injury' has been emerging to explain a significant part of the burnout phenomenon. The term describes the poor mental state of the physician who is forced to make immoral choices as part of the organizational demands. This perception fundamentally changes the concept that the poor function at work and in personal life is only the weakness of the doctor who lacks coping resources and resilience, therefore needing personal support such as yoga and mindfulness exercise. It emphasizes the organization responsibility for change, which will minimize moral dilemmas, thereby the moral injury. This will allow the doctor to live professional, as well as personal life, in an optimal way.
