Abstract
ObjectiveTo analyze the research status and existing problems on physical restraints in China, and to discuss the future research focus and direction, so as to provide reference for clinical research and practice in this field.
MethodsWe search literatures using "body restraint OR restraint belts OR physical constraint" as the subject or key words from the database of CNKI, Wanfang database and VIP, using "physical restraint OR restraint" as the main title or key words from the database of PubMed and Web of Science database from the beginning to August 19, 2019. NoteExpress and Excel software were used to analyze the annual distribution, geographical distribution, fund support, journal distribution, literature type, research object and research content of the included literatures from 2009 to 2019.
ResultsA total of 492 valid literatures have been retrieved. The annual distribution has been increasing year by year. According to the first author, literatures have a wide geographical distribution. The top three are Jiangsu, Hubei and Guangdong province. There are 31 literatures which have received 17 funds. Peking University Chinese core journals and Chinese scientific and technological papers have counted 155 literatures, accounting for 31.50%. The design and application of constraint tools is the most common content of research, for 264. 122 literatures have been conducted on patients in intensive care unit.
ConclusionsThe research on physical restraints is developing rapidly in China, but the quality of the literatures needs to be improved. It is suggested use the published guidelines and evidence-based researches abroad for reference, combining Chinese national conditions and the characteristics of medical institutions and patients, develop management programs and guidelines to minimize physical restraints and promote patient safety.
