Abstract
BACKGROUND: High-quality health services include both safe care as well as involving service users in treatment and decision-making. MATERIAL: The aim was to explore how mental health service users perceive the relationship between safe care on the one hand and increased influence and decision-making on the other. This was a qualitative study of 15 User Interviewing User evaluation reports, including 417 service users. DISCUSSION: Safe and predictable care was essential in poor illness phases, while increased influence and independence were more important in better phases.Keywords: User participation; health services; mental health; patient participation
