Exploring the experience of nurse practitioners who have committed medical errors: a phenomenological approach.
Delacroix R. J Am Assoc Nurse Pract. 2017 Apr 27; [Epub ahead of print].
This qualitative interview study of nurse practitioners who had made errors found that they experience complex reactions, including self-blame, concern for the patient, worries about their professional future, and feelings of failure. These results echo prior work about health care team members as second victims of medical errors.

Patient safety culture and the second victim phenomenon: connecting culture to staff distress in nurses.
Quillivan RR, Burlison JD, Browne EK, Scott SD, Hoffman JM. Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf. 2016;42:377-386.
The second victim phenomenon describes the distress health care providers can experience after adverse events. This survey of 358 nurses at a single pediatric hospital found that those working in a stronger safety culture were less likely to report distress after involvement in a patient safety event. The authors suggest that bolstering safety culture can help prevent negative effects of second victim experiences.

Design of an evidence-based "second victim" curriculum for nurse anesthetists.
Daniels RG, McCorkle R. AANA J. 2016;84:107-113.
The second victim phenomenon has been well-documented in health care, but the problem has rarely been studied in certain specialties. Reviewing the literature on how medical error can affect nurse anesthetists, this commentary describes the development of a curriculum for this specialty group which focuses on definitions, risks, barriers, and interventions.
