Many clinicians experience emotional and/or psychological distress after involvement in an adverse event. This scoping review of 29 articles identified several factors supporting successful implementation of programs to support healthcare workers involved in patient safety incidents, including a non-punitive organizational culture and strong leadership engagement. The review also highlights the importance of peer support training and resource allocation (e.g., funding, protected time) to ensure program sustainability.
