Objective: Health-care professionals (HCPs) who are involved in an unanticipated adverse patient event, a medical error or a patient-related injury can become second victims. Being a second victim can lead to various symptoms, affecting the well-being of HCPs and possible turnover intentions or absenteeism. An increasing number of hospitals have implemented a second-victim support programme. To achieve unique insights into what works and what does not work in second-victim support programmes, HCPs’ perceptions are needed. The aim of this study was to translate the Second Victim Experience and Support Tool (SVEST) into Danish and test the psychometric properties of the Danish version (D-SVEST). Methods: The SVEST self-administered questionnaire was translated into Danish following the World Health Organization’s guidelines. Assessments of the content validity, construct validity and internal consistency were performed based on 171 participants. Results: The study demonstrated that the D-SVEST is content valid and fits the a priori defined structure. Yet, four items revealed unacceptable factor loadings (<0.4) and item-rest correlations <0.3. All Cronbach’s alpha estimates for these five dimensions exceeded 0.70. The dimensions on colleague and institutional support did not contribute to the validity. Conclusions: In conclusion, the D-SVEST is considered relevant and valid for measuring second-victim experiences and the adequacy of support resources. However, we recommend a modification of items 9 and 25 to enhance the measurement scale in a Danish context. The D-SVEST can be used by health-care management at Danish hospitals.

Abstract Background ”Second victims” are defined as “healthcare workers (HCWs) involved in an unanticipated adverse patient event, who experienced professional and psychological distress”. The Second Victim Experience and Support Tool (SVEST) is a survey developed and validated in the United States, which describes the experience of second victims. This study aims to perform the cross-cultural adaptation of the SVEST and to evaluate its psychometric characteristics in the Italian context. Methods The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process was performed according to the World Health Organization’s guidelines, from March to May 2019. Then HCWs involved in direct patient care (a potential second victim) were asked to complete the Italian version of SVEST in a validation survey, from June to November 2019 at the Academic Hospital of Udine. SVEST consists of 29 items, divided into 7 dimensions, 2 outcome variables and 7 support options. The IT-SVEST was assessed for internal consistency through Cronbach’s α, for content validity with Content Validity Index for Scales (S-CVI) and for Item (I-CVI) and for construct validity with Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Results Collected surveys were 349. Women were 79.4%. Nurses were 40.1%, 18.9% were doctors and 8.6% were residents. HCWs involved in a patients’ adverse event were 205 (58.7%). Out of these, 66.3% were near misses. The internal consistency of the instrument was adequate in its overall evaluation with Cronbach α = 0.88 (95% C.I.=0.86). S-CVI was 0.94 and I-CVI was 0.70. The CFA results showed a good model fit for the nine-factor structure (chi2=676.18, 327 df, p &lt; 0.001). Root Mean Squared Error of Approximation, Akaike’s information criterion, Comparative Fix Index Tucker-Lewis Index values also suggested a good fit to the data. Conclusions The Italian version of the SVEST (IT-SVEST) can be used to evaluate second victim experiences, demonstrating adequate validity, reliability and good psychometric properties. Key messages Healthcare institutions need an instrument that can direct efforts to prevent and reduce the second victim experience. IT-SVEST is a reliable and valid instrument to obtain accurate information on second victim experience.
