Registered nurse (RN) "second victims" are RNs who are harmed from their involvement in medical errors. This study used the conceptual model nurse experience of medical errors and found a relationship between RN involvement in preventable adverse events and 2 domains of burnout: emotional exhaustion (P = .009) and depersonalization (P = .030). Support to RNs involved in preventable adverse events was inversely related to RN emotional exhaustion (P < .001) and depersonalization (P = .003) and positively related to personal accomplishment (P = .002).
