abstract="Second victims are healthcare professionals (HCPs) who are involved in an unexpected adverse event, in a medical error or a patient related injury, and become victimised and traumatised by the event. Second victims may experience psychological distress, fear, loss of self-esteem, feelings of guilt, anger, frustration, and fear of continued practice<sup>1</sup>. Since a just safety culture should provide a supportive working environment where mistakes can be discussed openly without criticism and punishment<sup>2</sup> , second victims should suffer less distress. Our argument is that although an open, system-based approach is preferable to finger-pointing and blame, a just safety culture per se, cannot alleviate the emotional impact on the second victim.
