Clinical Incident

Second Victim

Other

Observational

Adverse events within health care settings can lead to two victims. The first victim is the patient and family and the second victim is the involved health care professional.

The prevalence rates of second victims in the oversea study varied from 10.4% (Lander et al., 2006) up to 43.3% (Wolf et al., 2000).

Clinical incident related to Second Victim, is defined by the research team, includes all errors involving near misses, preventable adverse events and negligent adverse events, and all adverse events including unanticipated non-preventable adverse events but excluding anticipated non-preventable adverse events (i.e. side effect, complication or consequence of nature of disease or treatment), and incidents that involve criminal act, deliberately unsafe act, substance abuse or deliberate patient harm or abuse.

When Second Victim is defined by Scott et al. as below:
‘A health care provider involved in an unanticipated adverse patient event, medical error, and/or a patient related–injury who become victimized in the sense that the provider is traumatized by the event. Frequently second victims feel personally responsible for the unexpected patient outcomes and feel as though they have failed their patient, second guessing their clinical skills and knowledge base’ (Scott et al., 2009)
