Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the implementation status of protective restraints for psychiatric patients.
MethodsThe self-developed psychiatric protective restraint questionnaire was used to investigate 2 101 patients who had experienced at least one protective restraint during hospitalization in psychiatric institutions in 15 provinces and cities from March to May 2019 to analyze the current status of protective restraint of psychiatric patients.
ResultsA total of 2 101 questionnaires were distributed and 1 897 valid questionnaires were returned. The duration of constraint of 1 897 patients was 3 (1, 8) h, with the shortest duration of 1 h and the longest duration of 72 h. There were statistically significant differences in duration of restraint for patients with different genders, hospitals, marital status, first diagnosis on admission and history of self-harm or commit suicide (P<0.05) .
ConclusionsThere is an urgent need to establish a set of standardized restraint procedures in clinical practice to prevent unreasonable use of restraints.
