Abstract
Objective: This study explored nurse leaders' perspectives and experiences in supporting nurses following a serious medical error.
Background: Appropriate support is crucial for nurses following an error. Authentic leadership provides an environment of psychological safety and establishes a patient safety culture.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey research design was conducted to determine nurse leader's (NLs') perspectives on supporting nurses following a medical error.
Results: NL training on handling serious medical errors varied. NLs indicated experiencing a variety of formal support programs: peer support, education, error examination, employee assistance, and just culture. Following an error, NLs reported these interventions were helpful, including education/retraining, psychological safety, time off the unit, identifying system failures, nurse involvement in disclosure, and peer support.
Conclusion: This study illuminates how NLs support nurses following an error. It provides insight into the education of NLs on assisting nurses and the need to implement formal caregiver support programs.
