The second victim of unanticipated adverse events

Study on the influence of patient safety culture on the pain and turnover intention of Chinese nurses in adverse nursing events

“…Second‐victim pain was measured using the Second Victim Experience and Support Tool (SVEST) developed by Burlison (Burlison et al, 2017 ), an American scholar, to measure the quality of second‐victim pain and support, and contains 7 factors (psychological pain, physical pain, occupational self‐efficacy, colleague support, supervisor support, institutional support and non‐work‐related support), two outcome variables (turnover intention and absenteeism) and a total of 29 entries with Cronbach's α coefficients of 0.61–0.88 for each dimension and is applicable to those who provide direct care to patients, such as physicians, nurses and pharmacists. In this study, the revised culturally appropriate Second Victim Experience and Support Scale by Guiru Chen version (Chen, Sun, et al, 2019 ; Chen, Yang, et al, 2019 ) was used. The scale contains 7 factors, 2 outcome variables and a total of 29 entries; the total Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale is 0.892, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of each dimension is 0.444–0.96, and the content validity index is 0.950. each dimension is rated on a Likert 5‐point scale, with each entry scored from 1 to 5, with 1 being strongly disagreed and 5 The total score range was 29–145.…”

“…Nursing turnover intention was measured using 2 entries in the Chen (Chen, Sun, et al, 2019 ; Chen, Yang, et al, 2019 ) version to assess nurses' turnover intention after involvement in a patient safety event. The content of the entry includes (Experiencing these events has made me wish for a position outside of caring for patient; Sometime the stress of being involved in these events makes me want to quit).…”

Nurses' second victim experience, job insecurity, and turnover intention: A latent profile analysis

“…The second victim phenomenon continues to show negative impacts on healthcare quality. If not appropriately managed, the phenomenon could have significant negative impacts on patient care and the healthcare organization (Chen et al, 2022). When becoming second victims, nurses may experience a series of negative emotions, leading to higher levels of job burnout (Lewis et al, 2015), turnover intention, absenteeism, or leaving the nursing industry forever (Burlison et al, 2017).…”

“…The high nurse turnover rates affect multiple stakeholders, including health systems, organizations, healthcare providers, and patients. For nurses themselves, defensive behaviors may occur, and if these behaviors that are not corrected in time it will increase the probability of making errors in future nursing work (Chen et al, 2022). For patients, the decreased quality of care and shortage of nurses may lead to potential harm to their physical and mental health (Carlisle et al, 2020).…”
