ABSTRACT

Introduction: the term second victim refers to health personnel who participated in an adverse event and suffer the psychological and physical consequences of having made a mistake. The best method to deal with this phenomenon is unknown. In our work we propose the use of clinical simulation as a tool to generate a temporary impact on second victims. Objective: to study the temporal impact of a simulation intervention on the phenomenon of second victims in emergency professionals. Material and methods: prospective, observational, and analytical cohort study, where a group of professionals from the emergency services of the UC-Christus Health Network participated in a clinical simulation and another in a teaching class. Using the SVEST (Second Victim Experience Support Tool), the results are measured before and seven days after exposure. Results: 70 professionals were recruited, 40 participated in the class and 30 in the simulation. Seven days after the simulation, a decrease in physical symptoms (mean 2.99 ± 1 vs 2.74 ± 1 p < 0.05) and psychological symptoms (mean 3.87 ± 0.8 vs 3.35 ± 0.8 p < 0.05), was observed. Peer support is recognized as the best help alternative with 95.8% agreement for the simulation group and 75.7% for the class group. Conclusions: clinical simulation generates a temporary impact on the phenomenon of second victims, which translates into a decrease in psychological and physical symptoms. Clinical simulation favors support mechanisms among co-workers.
