“…A Chinese study showed that healthcare providers with professional titles were more likely to have an awareness of perceiving the risk of medical malpractice. 19 However, previous research showed increased emotional difficulty when there was a possibility of adverse events. 20 Thus, healthcare providers with a higher level of professional titles tend to undertake more work stress and find it more challenging to handle emotional distress, which indicates that they need support, especially after they experience PSIs.…”

Purpose To describe the experience and support of Chinese healthcare professionals as second victims of PSIs. Design and Methods A cross‐sectional study with anonymous online self‐report questionnaires was adopted. A total of 1357 Chinese healthcare professionals participated in this study. The Chinese version of the Second Victim Experience and Support Tool (C‐SVEST) was used to evaluate the experience of second victims and the quality of support resources. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the data. Findings This study showed that 350 participants (25.8%) had been involved in PSIs during their careers. The majority of respondents who had experienced PSIs agreed they suffered more from psychological distress, followed by professional self‐efficacy distress, and physical distress. Besides, they regarded colleague support and management support as the most desirable support. Statistically significant differences were reported in some items. First, compared with medical staff without professional titles, staff with professional titles suffered more from psychological distress but gained more support from colleagues. Practice implications The second victim phenomenon deserves further attention. The programs focusing on training qualified colleagues to provide emotional support should be developed, implemented, and evaluated. Moreover, it is necessary to build a better patient safety culture with nonpunitive responses and encourage the disclosure and reporting of PSIs.

“…Previous studies have reported the level of nurses' patient safety competency and its affecting factors. Some studies have reported a moderate level of patient safety competency among Korean (Hwang, 2015; Jin & Yi, 2019) and Chinese nurses (Yan et al, 2020). Some variables identified as affecting patient safety competency include nurses' educational backgrounds (Kim & Han, 2016), clinical experience (Hwang, 2015; Jin & Yi, 2019; Murray et al, 2018), critical thinking disposition (an individual's motivation or attitude toward thinking critically) (Jin & Yi, 2019; Kim & Han, 2016), teamwork (Jin & Yi, 2019) and having the experience of reporting patient safety accidents (Han & Roh, 2020).…”

Aims:The aim of this study is to identify how professionalism and systems thinking contribute to patient safety competency among Iranian nurses.Background: Professionalism, systems thinking and patient safety competency play important roles in the quality of care. Strategies to enhance the patient safety competency of nurses must be devised by identifying the relationships between these variables.Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive survey study was conducted in 10 teaching hospitals in Tabriz, Iran. A total of 358 nursing staff with at least 12 months of experience in nursing were enrolled. Data were collected using the Professionalism scale, Systems Thinking Scale and Patient Safety Competency Self-Evaluation tool. Structural equation modelling analysis was performed to test the relationship between variables. Results:The final model illustrated a good fit (χ 2 /df = 2.329, goodness-of-fit index = 0.990, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.906 and root mean square error of approximation = 0.068). Professionalism directly influenced patient safety competency (β = 0.59, p < 0.001) and indirectly influenced systems thinking (β = 0.29, p < 0.001).Systems thinking directly influenced patient safety competency (β = 0.46, p < 0.001).Results indicated that 91% of the variance in patient safety competency was explained by professionalism while 40.1% of the variance in the systems thinking was explained by professionalism. Conclusions:The professionalism and systems thinking of hospital nurses play a pivotal role as predictors in patient safety competency. Training opportunities, mentorship and nursing managers' leadership are needed to assist hospital nurses in their perceptions of professionalism and systems thinking.Implications for Nursing Management: Nursing educators and managers should implement patient safety training strategies and improve the professionalism and systems thinking of hospital nurses to promote patient safety and quality care.

“…A nurse must independently monitor, treat (keep a nursing history) certain groups of patients and call the doctor for consultation only. Nurses having the best knowledge can do their job more efficiently, which will not only influence the well-being of patients, improve the provision of medical care and satisfy nurses with their work [6].…”

Three tools were used for data collection: HAMs knowledge questionnaire, Observational checklist for nurses" performance and Nurse's competence scale. Results: The majority (91.2%, 85.3%) of the studied nurse had satisfactory knowledge regarding HAMs at immediate post and follow up, respectively, most of them (85.3%, 79.4%) had high performance regarding HAMs at immediate post and follow up, respectively while the majority (88.2%, 85.3%) had high competence level regarding HAMs at immediate post and follow up, respectively. Conclusion: the current study concluded that the educational program was successful and lead to improvement in nurses" knowledge, performance, and competence regarding HAMs at immediate post program and follow up program (after 3 months). Also, there was highly statistically significant correlation between nurses' knowledge, performance and competence related to HAMs at pre, immediate post and follow up phases of program.
