Abstract (13 Views)
Introduction: When adverse events due to nursing errors occur, nurses are affected as second victims. This study aimed to investigate the consequences and experiences of the second victim phenomenon in nurses and its relationship with the components of professional quality of life and silence about patient safety.
Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical correlational study that was conducted using a stratified-proportional random sampling method on 232 nurses working in healthcare centers of Lorestan University of Medical Sciences in 1402. To collect data, the Second Victim Experience Questionnaire, the Stam Professional Quality of Life Questionnaire, Fifth Edition, Patient Safety Silence, and the Demographic Information Checklist were used. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.
Findings: The mean score of the second victim experience among the participants was 114.38 with a standard deviation of 11.05 points. Most of the participants in the present study (94.4%) were at an average level in terms of second victim experience. There is a negative and statistically significant relationship between the experience of the second victim phenomenon and quality of life (p >0.001, r = -0.366). There was no statistically significant linear relationship between the experience of the second victim and patient safety silence (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: This study shows that the experience of the second victim phenomenon has negative effects on quality of life and some related factors, and the importance of addressing the working and psychological conditions of nurses to improve their quality of life is clear.
