The use of physical restraints in healthcare settings, especially in psychiatric units, is a controversial topic. The attitude, knowledge, and practices of nurses towards physical restraints can influence its application, which raises concerns about the balance between patient safety and individual rights.
This review has been published in the Indian Journal of Palliative Care published by Scientific Scholar.
With mental disorders being a leading cause of disability globally, understanding the complexities surrounding physical restraints use becomes paramount.
A comprehensive literature review was conducted using multiple databases. The search focused on studies that explored the relationship between nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding physical restraints in psychiatric settings. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to filter out relevant studies.
