Abstract

Medical mishaps are well-known sources of distress. However, some mishaps may give medical professionals an opportunity to experience personal growth. We examined the associations between medical mishaps, second victim distress, and posttraumatic growth. A total of 157 physicians and 139 nurses completed a survey that included questions about mishaps, Second Victim Experience and Support Tool and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory. Overall, 82.8% of the physicians and 48.9% of the nurses experienced at least one mishap. Lack of training, rumination, and impact of mishaps were associated with distress among nurses, whereas rumination, impact, and stressfulness were associated with distress among physicians. On the other hand, the impact of mishaps is the only factor that was associated with posttraumatic growth among nurses, whereas none with physicians. This study suggests that the posttraumatic growth from medical mishaps is not associated with the theory-driven event-related factors, and highlights the importance of further investigation.

医生和护士医疗事故造成的创伤后成长和第二次受害者痛苦。

众所周知，医疗事故是造成痛苦的根源。然而，一些不幸事件可能会给医疗专业人员一个体验个人成长的机会。我们研究了医疗事故、第二受害者痛苦和创伤后成长之间的关系。共有157名医生和139名护士完成了一项调查，其中包括关于事故、第二受害者体验和支持工具以及创伤后成长清单的问题。总体而言，82.8%的医生和48.9%的护士至少经历过一次事故。缺乏培训、沉思和事故的影响与护士的痛苦有关，而沉思、影响和压力与医生的痛苦有关。另一方面，事故的影响是护士创伤后成长的唯一因素，而医生则没有。这项研究表明，医疗事故造成的创伤后成长与理论驱动的事件相关因素无关，并强调了进一步调查的重要性。

期刊介绍： Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original papers related to all areas of the science and practice of psychologists in medical settings. Manuscripts are chosen that have a broad appeal across psychology as well as other health care disciplines, reflecting varying backgrounds, interests, and specializations. The journal publishes original research, treatment outcome trials, meta-analyses, literature reviews, conceptual papers, brief scientific reports, and scholarly case studies. Papers accepted address clinical matters in medical settings; integrated care; health disparities; education and training of the future psychology workforce; interdisciplinary collaboration, training, and professionalism; licensing, credentialing, and privileging in hospital practice; research and practice ethics; professional development of psychologists in academic health centers; professional practice matters in medical settings; and cultural, economic, political, regulatory, and systems factors in health care. In summary, the journal provides a forum for papers predicted to have significant theoretical or practical importance for the application of psychology in medical settings.
