OverviewAI-generated summary
Brandon J. Griffin's research program focuses on the study of moral injury and its psychological and psychosocial impacts. He has published extensively on the development and validation of assessment tools for moral injury, such as the Moral Injury and Distress Scale. His work investigates the prevalence and patterns of exposure to morally injurious events, particularly within high-risk populations including combat veterans and healthcare workers.
Griffin's research also examines the relationship between moral injury and various mental health outcomes, including post-traumatic stress disorder, burnout, and turnover risks among healthcare professionals. He has explored social cognitive mechanisms contributing to resilience in healthcare workers during challenging periods like the COVID-19 pandemic. Collaborations with researchers such as Jeffrey M. Pyne and Marcela C. Weber at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences have been instrumental in advancing this line of inquiry, evidenced by their shared publication record. Griffin maintains an active lab website to disseminate his research findings and maintain engagement.
