For the binary logistic regression model, the dependent variable second victim status was set to never been a second victim vs. having experienced one or several second victim incidents. 1 Nagelkerkes r2; 2 regression coefficient B; 3 exponentiation of the B coefficient (Exp(B)) or odds ratio; 4 confidence interval; 5 reference category (RC) is female sex; 6 RC is ≤31 years of age; 7 RC is 0–7 years of working experience; 8 RC is no leading position; 9 RC is not working in acute care (predominantly in ICU and/or emergency department); 10 RC are lower sum scores based on median splits.
