Objectives: To assess the validity and describe the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Second Victim Experience and Support Tool (SVEST-E) questionnaire. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study aimed at midwives and obstetricians in Spain. An online survey was conducted consisting of two parts: the first part collected different variables and the second part collected the SVEST-E. The temporal stability of the instrument was evaluated using the test-retest method. For the construct validity and reliability, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed using FACTOR programme v.10 with a polychoric correlation matrix. Results: A total of 689 professionals participated in the study, of which 323 were obstetrician physicians and 366 were midwives. The mean score on the SVEST-E for the total sample was 3.09 (SD = 0.50). The parallel analysis of the EFA suggested a 5factor solution, with a total explained variability of 61.8%. The goodness of fit indices of the model were RMSEA = 0.038 (95% CI: 0.031-0.042), NNFI = 0.985 (95% CI: 0.984-0.989) and CFI = 0.989 (95% CI: 0.988-0.992). The factor model obtained was confirmed by CFA, obtaining the values of RMSEA = 0.038 (95% CI: 0.026-0.053), NNFI = 0.985 (95% CI: 0.957-1.000) and CFI = 0.989 (95% CI: 0.969-1.000). The intraclass correlation coefficient for SVEST-E was 0.97 (95% CI: 0.94-0.99). Conclusions: The SVEST-E instrument maintains the same items as the original questionnaire but introduces changes in the organisation of its dimensions, containing 4 factors and the desired support responses. The Spanish version of the instrument maintains adequate content validity, construct validity, reliability, and temporal stability, so the SVEST-E is a valid tool to evaluate the second victim experience in Spanish

Aim The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of feelings of being a second victim among midwives and obstetricians in Spain and to explore possible differences between the two professions. Design Cross‐sectional descriptive‐analytical observational study. Methods An online survey collecting several variables was administered throughout the Spanish territory. Spanish version of the Second Victim Experience and Support Tool (SVEST) was used. The data collection period was from May to December 2020. Results A total sample of 719 obstetricians and midwives were studied. There were significant differences between the two groups with respect to seven dimensions of SVEST: greater feelings of being a second victim among obstetricians in the dimensions physical distress/ p ≤ .001, non‐work‐related support/ p ≤ .001 and absenteeism/ p ≤ .001 and greater feelings of being a second victim among midwives in the dimensions psychological distress/ p ≤ .001, supervisor support/ p = .011, professional self‐efficacy/ p ≤ .001 and intention to change jobs/ p ≤ .001.
