The collection of information was carried out during the same period of time.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The study recruited a sample of 425 nurses, second victims who had experienced patient suicides from 6 tertiary grade A hospitals (Shanxi, China). The General Information Questionnaire, the Coping Styles Scale, the Burnout Scale, and the Hospital Patient Safety Climate Scale were used to gather data. The Pearson correlation analysis was used to study the correlation among the 3, one-way ANOVA or independent samples t tests were used to compare differences in second victim burnout among nurses with different characteristics, and the model 4 in process was employed to establish structural equation modeling and test the influence paths of hospital patient safety culture, coping styles, and burnout.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In this study, the patient safety culture score of hospital patients was (134.43±4.84), which was at a medium level; the coping score was (68.70±4.94), which was at a medium level, with positive coping score (23.03±2.94), negative coping score (22.12±2.66), and problem solving score (23.55±3.10), which was at a high level.
