Patient Safety Culture and the Second Victim Phenomenon: Connecting Culture to Staff Distress in Nurses. (Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf. Aug 2016, 42(8) p.377-86.
Second victim experiences can affect the wellbeing of health care providers and compromise patient safety. Many factors associated with improved coping after patient safety event involvement are also components of a strong patient safety culture, so that supportive patient safety cultures may reduce second victim-related trauma. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted to assess the influence of patient safety culture on second victim-related distress.
The results suggest that punitive safety cultures may contribute to self-reported perceptions of second victim-related psychological, physical, and professional distress, which could reflect a lack of organizational support. Reducing punitive response to error and encouraging supportive coworker, supervisor, and institutional interactions may be useful strategies to manage the severity of second victim experiences.
