Providers involved in patient safety incidents can experience adverse psychological and physiological outcomes, also referred to as second victim experiences (SVE). This study used the Second Victim Experience and Support Tool (SVEST) to evaluate the impact of a peer support program on anesthesia providers’ SVE. Two years after program implementation, reported psychological distress decreased and over 80% of participants expressed favorable views of the program and its impact on safety culture.
