“…This is similar to the study in Iran reported that improper applying techniques may lead to violate the comfort and safety of the patient during restraining [2]. Similarly, a study in Portugal emphasized that all participants consider about the skin integrity in the application of physical restrain [12]. However, in the present study two third of nurses were unaware of the danger of restraining a patient while lying prone position and more than 80% of them were not believed that restraining can increase the risk of strangulation.…”

“…Not only that most of them were aware of what is physically restrained, where physical restraints must be initiated and the time period that it should be continued. Present study identified that more than 90% of nursing officers were agreed with physical restraints must be initiated after trying all other less restrictive alternatives have been proven ineffective, which is similar to many studies reported that physical restraining applied when all other measures were failed [12][13][14]. This proves that the nursing officers have not felt guilty of physically restraining as they have tried every other means before the procedure with the patients and also the nurses have well balanced the ethical principles.…”

It should be used for a short period, and a registered nurse is responsible to protect rights, treat with dignity and provide high quality care during patient restraints. The objective of the study was to assess knowledge, attitudes and practices on physical restraining among nurses in psychiatric wards and units in Sri Lanka.Methods A study was conducted in a Mental Health institution in Sri Lanka and a pretested self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. The associations among the knowledge, attitudes, practices and socio-demographic factors were assessed.Results Knowledge of nursing officers’ regarding physical restraints was at a satisfactory level and increasing with working experience, getting formal education of physical restraining. However, there is no significant association between the knowledge on physical restraints and working experience, formal education of physical restraints and working places. In addition, most of attitudes and practices regarding physical restraints among nurses were not significantly associated with working experience, formal education of physical restraints and working places.Conclusions Knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding physical restraints among nurses were in satisfactory level. Continuous in-service education programs are important to improve knowledge, attitudes and practices on physical restraints for psychiatry patients.

“…Likewise, regarding indication for physical restraint most nurses, about 60%, responded on psychotic patients and about 40% in restlessness cases. These findings are contradicted with the study of Cunha et al () where psychotic disorders came up with 91%, substance‐related disorders with 68.6% and mood disorders with 55.1%. This difference in the findings may be because of the difference in educational background.…”

Aim The focus was to explore the perceptions and experiences of healthcare workers with respect to the use of restraints in acute care hospitals. Design The study followed a qualitative design. Methods Three topic‐based focus group interviews were conducted, involving 19 participants from the fields of nursing, physical therapy and medicine. For data collection and analysis, the method of mapping techniques for rapid qualitative data analysis was used. After discussing and validating the individual mind maps, all data were condensed to identify the key findings. Results Participants described restraints as safety measures for the patients. The implementation of most restraints was led by nurses. The use of restraints differed significantly, even in the interprofessional team. Attitudes and experiences were the main determinants for restraint use. Nurses asked for more discussion about restraints in the team, for more support at an interprofessional level and for better guidelines to help with the decision‐making process.
