“…A total of 521 abstracts were considered, but only 23 papers met the inclusion criteria (25–47). These papers reported results of 18 studies, nine of which are prospective and nine retrospective.…”

“…There were nine low quality studies (26, 27, 31, 32, 34–37, 41) six medium quality studies (25, 28–30, 33, 47) and three high quality studies (39, 42, 46). Three studies scored 0, and no study had a score over 6.…”

“…Patients were also asked to assess, more specifically, their involuntary admission and whether such a compulsory intervention was justified in their case. A total of 39–75% of participants in different studies report retrospectively that it was right that they had been involuntarily admitted and treated, whilst 10–47% of the interviewees explicitly state that their involuntary admission was unjustified (27, 28–30, 32, 36, 37). Although no high quality studies address this issue, results from all investigations but one medium quality study (30) illustrate that the number of patients reporting positive views is higher than those holding negative attitudes.…”

“…Within the first 25 days after admission, 39–58% believe that their admission was correct (30, 32, 36). In interviews between 4 months and 3 years after admission, between 66% and 75% report positive views on their admission (27, 28, 37).…”
A substantial number of involuntary patients do retrospectively not feel that their admission was justified and beneficial. At least for this group, new approaches might have to be considered. Larger studies are required to identify predictors on which patients are likely to fall into this group.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
