| Summary: | ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify the support provided to nursing students after a patient safety incident. Methods: qualitative study developed with 23 students attending an undergraduate nursing program in southern Brazil. Data were collected between September and November 2021 and submitted to textual discursive analysis using the Iramuteq software. Results: the students reported that mainly classmates and professors of the practical courses provided support. The students showed no knowledge of organizational support or protocols available to students who become second victims of such incidents. Final Considerations: the primary support sources available to nursing students involved in patient safety incidents were identified. Note that support provided to nursing students is still incipient both in Brazil and internationally. Hence, further studies are needed to address potential victims and support resources to mitigate this phenomenon.
