Open Disclosure Among General Practitioners as Second Victim of a Patient Safety Incident: A Cross-Sectional Study in Flanders (Belgium)

This study shows that GPs, even in training, can be negatively impacted after a PSI. Only half of the respondents were involved in an open disclosure process, but the ones involved had a positive feeling after disclosure. More support is needed for health care professionals in the aftermath of a PSI in primary care, and this support could enhance their involvement in the open disclosure process.
