Abstrakt: Awareness of second victim syndrome and available support systems in South Asia is quite limited. We conducted this survey to assess its prevalence and impact among the surgeons from South Asia. A multiple choice pattern web-based cross-sectional Google forms questionnaire was developed which focused on demographics of respondent, prevalence, impact (physical, personal and professional), available coping mechanisms, gap in support systems, and future suggestions for dealing with "second victim" syndrome. Answers were sought from surgeons of all surgical specialties from South Asia. A total of 658 surgeons responded to the survey, 91.03% (n = 599) reported having experienced the "second victim" syndrome. Majority (54.3%) of respondents was from India; surgeons from 8 other countries also responded to the survey. Prevalence of "second victim" syndrome was found similar among the two genders, different experience groups, and different specialties (p > 0.05). A varied set of physical, psychological, and professional impacts were noted; however, any structured institute-based support system was lacking and victims sought help from colleagues. Development of a structured "crisis plans" providing emotional, psychological, and legal support, minimizing the trauma, and guiding the second victim through the recovery process is the need of the hour.
