Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to measure the impact of adverse events (AEs) on advanced practice provider (APP) well-being and to describe symptoms of second victim syndrome (SVS) among this group of healthcare professionals.
Methods: A survey was designed to measure the incidence of AEs among APPs employed at a large healthcare system and AE impact on emotional, physical, and professional well-being. It also measured burnout, callousness, and the desire for peer support among APPs who had experienced AEs and those who had not.
Results: Of the 350 APPs who completed the survey, 55.4% had experienced an AE. APPs exposed to an AE had a higher rate of burnout ( p = .027) than those who had not. Following an AE, 97% of APPs experienced one or more symptoms of SVS; additionally, 87% sought peer support after an AE, with 96% finding it helpful.
Conclusion: Findings demonstrate that AEs have a negative emotional impact on APP well-being and are associated with burnout and callousness. Peer support is desired by APPs after AEs and may enhance recovery.
