Özet
Background: Healthcare workers who find themselves entangled in unforeseen adverse patient events, medical errors, and/or patient-related injuries, experiencing trauma and victimization as a consequence of said incidents, are referred to as “second victims”. Objectıve: This study aims to validate and assess the reliability of the Turkish version of the Second Victim Experience and Support Tool-Revised (SVEST-R). Methods: The methodological and cross-sectional study involved 400 physicians and nurses in an Edirne tertiary hospital of Turkey. The Turkish SVEST-R and a questionnaire were administered, assessing validity through factor analysis and content validity, and reliability through item-total score correlation, internal consistency, and test-retest methods. Results: Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test (0.84) and Bartlett Test (p < 0.001) indicated adequate sampling for factor analysis. Exploratory Factor Analysis identified nine factors explaining 71.58% of total variance. Confirmatory Factor Analysis showed good fit (x2 = 976.95, x2/df = 2.3, CFI = 0.92, GFI = 0.87, RMSEA = 0.05). Cronbach's alpha was 0.85, signifying high internal consistency. Healthcare professionals’ average T-SVEST-R score was 2.8 ± 0.5. Among independent variables, professional experience length significantly influenced T-SVEST-R score. Conclusıons: The Turkish version of the Second Victim Experience Support Tool-Revised (T-SVEST-R) has been validated as a reliable scale.
