More than 1 million potential second victims: how many could nursing education prevent?

Jones JH, Treiber LA. Nurse Educ. 2018;43:154-157.

Respondents felt pressured not to make mistakes, and those who described an error frequently experienced the second victim effect. The authors suggest that nursing education should better prepare nurses to handle unanticipated outcomes and the associated emotional response.
