N2  - AIM: To describe and analyse the degree of second victim syndrome and the desire for supports among nurses working in regional hospitals in China. <br><br>BACKGROUND: The evidence on the prevalence of second victim among healthcare workers remains inconsistent and have rarely focused on the regional level. <br><br>METHODS: A quantitative, descriptive, survey-based, online, cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,194 nurses in three regional hospitals. <br><br>RESULTS: A total of 918 (76.88%) nurses, who reported have had experienced patient safety incidents, were selected for the final analysis. The mean score for the Chinese version of the Second Victim Experience and Support Tool (C-SVEST) was (65.58±10.05). Psychological distress (15.91±2.99) and practice distress (15.26±4.32) had the highest score. The mean score for the desired form of support was (4.29±0.614). The option 'the opportunity to get guidance and suggestions for future work' was rated the most desired. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Nurses working at the regional level reported a similar degree of second victim experience and support desire, while the prevalence was much higher.     IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: The second victim phenomenon has become increasingly complex and challenging, and deserve more attention. Not only Safety-I, abut also Safety-II approaches are suggested to integrated to patient safety.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
