Interventions to support nurses as second victims of patient safety incidents: a qualitative study of nurse managers' perceptions.
Clinicians require support (often referred to as the second victim phenomenon) after involvement in patient safety incidents. In this study, nurse managers outline effective interventions and suggest that standardized support, such as full team debriefing after all patient safety incidents, can minimize the negative impact on nurses' well-being as well as reduce burden and attrition risks and positively impact patient safety.
