ABSTRACT
How service providers and service users view near misses in their daily practice within the rubric of patient safety events is not well understood. Further no studies were located that explored near misses specifically in mental health settings in Canada. In this context, a qualitative study was undertaken to gain insight into how service providers and service users (mental health clients or their family members) experienced and defined near misses. Eight (8) focus groups (n= 88) with service providers and 28 semi-structured interviews with service users were conducted at three mental health care organizations. Content analysis was employed to the dataset that elucidated that near misses were (1) safety threats and vulnerabilities associated with experiencing mental illness; and (2) acts that avert harm and prevent something from happening. Findings are compared to what is currently known about in safety. Implications of findings for practice, research and policy are delineated.
