Effects Of Restraint And Seclusion

Muir-Cochrane E. C. (2015) reported that about nurses experiences of restraint and seclusion usage in short-stay acute old-age psychiatry inpatient units lack of accessible alternatives to restraint and seclusion, indicating that nurses believe there are no effective, accessible alternatives to these practices. Three related themes contribute to this perception. First, an adverse interpersonal environment contributes to restraint and seclusion, which relates to undesirable consequences of poor staff-to-patient relationships. Second, an unfavourable physical environment contributes to aggression and restraint and seclusion use. Third, the practice environment influences the adoption of restraint and seclusion.
