Adverse events can negatively impact a provider's mental and physical health, leading to "second victim syndrome" (SDS). At one comprehensive cancer center, 37% of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy staff reported experiencing SVS at least once in their lifetime, with nearly 10% reporting they never fully recovered. Time away from the unit, a peaceful location, and peer-to-peer assistance programs were the most desired support resources.
