Abstract

The approaches, perceptions and frameworks used by organisations to support second victims is absent from the literature. To enable these professionals to maintain or return to their clinical roles a deeper understanding of the second victim experience and what is required, versus what is available, in terms of support is needed. Exploring second victim support programs from an organisational perspective including the aims of these programs, the elements that are deemed important in support programs, the factors that denote recovery in second victim and the value placed in these support programs is warranted. The research question posed in this study is: What are the key factors in supporting recovery of nurses following a patient safety incident from an organisational perspective in Australia? The aim of this research is to test the practicality of the proposed research plan related to ethics approval, response rates, time to recruitment, data collection, and data saturation.
