This study explored the relationship between personality traits and traumatic outcome symptoms in nurses who were involved in a patient safety incident. Results indicate a strong relationship between perfectionism and neuroticism and reexperiencing the incident, as well as neuroticism and avoidance. There was an inverse relationship between perfectionism and alcohol abuse.
