Second-Victim Phenomenon.

All in health care are at risk of involvement in adverse events. Oftentimes, the health care worker manifests physical, psychological, and professional effects and this is referred to as the second-victim phenomenon. Unmitigated recovery of a second victim can contribute to absenteeism, turnover intentions, burnout, and loss of joy and meaning in work. The preferred method of support among health care workers is a respected peer to provide emotional support. Health care organizations can contribute to a second victim's recovery by providing a culture of safety and diverse resources based on the needs of the individual.
