- Title
Second Victim: A Traumatic Experience.
- Authors
Wands, Brenda
- Abstract
Research is abundant on second victimhood (the provider who was involved in and traumatized by an adverse clinical event) but minimal about the experience in nurse anesthetists. Physical and psychological symptoms of second victimhood may have a deleterious eff ect on patient care. Recognizing the important aspects during the various stages of recovery will help guide recovery eff orts. Inclusion of important curriculum domains in nurse anesthesia education will improve understanding of this issue. Organizations and departments need to be aware of the seriousness of the eff ects of second victimhood and how to develop a supportive compassionate recovery program. More research is needed in nurse anesthetists to better understand implications specific to the practice.
