What is known and objective: Safety events indicating medication-related errors in Parkinson's disease (PD) are common but seldom studied, particularly from lay perspectives. Our objective was to study the meaning and significance to people living with PD of their experience of safety events. Methods: Twenty qualitative interviews were conducted by telephone with purposively sampled individuals with PD, a proxy, or both, throughout New Zealand. Themes identified from the data included joint assessments of the objective and subjective severity of the individual safety events. Results and Discussion: Most of the events indicated minor objective errors, whose severity was sometimes perceived as major, especially in the face of callous communication. What is new and Conclusion: Variation between objective and subjective assessments of the severity of possible errors indicated by safety events highlight the importance of distinguishing between, and using, both forms of assessment. |
