【 摘 要 】
Background: The second victim phenomenon affects the physical and mental health of staff. Patient safety culture and the levelof organizational support also affect the second victim experience and its consequences on the staff. This study was conductedto determine the relationship between patient safety culture and second victim experience in critical care unit and emergencydepartment nurses.Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 307 nurses working in the intensive care unit and emergency departmentsof hospitals affiliated with Zanjan University of Medical Sciences (Zanjan, Iran) in 2019. Data were collected using the HospitalSurvey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC), the Second Victim Experience and Support Tool (SVEST), and a demographicquestionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Pearson correlation coefficient. All analyses were carriedout at a significance level of 0.05.Results: There was a significant positive relationship between the patient safety culture and the second victim's supportivesources (P=0.001). However, the patient safety culture had no significant relationship with the second victim's distress rate(P=0.663) and its outcomes (P=0.164).Conclusion: The results of this study show that improvement of patient safety culture is associated with an increased feeling ofsupport among the nurses, which could ultimately reduce the rate of turnover and absenteeism. Therefore, nursing managersshould provide more support to nurses, particularly after the occurrence of patient safety events, for reducing distress andpreventing further errors.
