Summary

This study aims to create European certification standards for programs that support healthcare workers after stressful events, known as the 'second victim' phenomenon. Researchers will work with 66 healthcare professionals across Europe to develop and test these standards. The goal is to improve worker well-being and patient safety by ensuring support programs are effective and consistent.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could establish a Europe-wide standard for supporting healthcare workers after stressful events, potentially improving their well-being and patient safety.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study focused on developing certification criteria, not testing a treatment. It involves only 66 participants and relies on expert opinions, so the results may not be widely applicable.

Who is studied

The study population consists of healthcare professionals from various disciplines, including physicians, nurses, midwives, clinical managers, patient safety officers, and other professionals involved in patient care and healthcare quality. Participants will be selected from European healthcare institutions implementing second victim support interventions. The study will include experts with at least 5 years of experience in healthcare-related fields, particularly in clinical management, quality assurance, and second victim support programs. The population will be drawn from hospitals, primary care centers, and social care institutions in multiple European countries, including Austria, Belgium, Portugal, and Spain. The study aims to develop and validate certification systems for second victim support interventions and peer supporter training, ensuring that healthcare institutions provide structured and evidence-based emotional support for affected professionals.
