“…In this study (Table 1), the majority of the participants perceived the duration of their last episode in MR to be 48 hours or above, which is in line with results from a Danish study (Gildberg et al 2015b). Patients' 'overt protest reactions' and the prolonged duration of MR support the notion that MR is considered to be a very intrusive containment method (Bak & Aggernaes 2012;Krieger et al 2018).…”

“…This knowledge is urgently required, because MR is widely considered to be one of the most intrusive types of coercive measures (Krieger et al . ) and since the forensic setting is considered to impact patients’ perceptions of being subjected to coercive measures (Nedopil ).…”

“…However, no research has specifically addressed the subjective experiences and perceptions of MR within a forensic setting. This knowledge is urgently required, because MR is widely considered to be one of the most intrusive types of coercive measures (Krieger et al 2018) and since the forensic setting is considered to impact patients' perceptions of being subjected to coercive measures (Nedopil 2016).…”

“…Researchers argue that the contribution of patients' experiences and perceptions can lead to a reduction of coercion and improve clinical practice (Kontio et al 2012;Steinert 2016). The area of patients' perceptions of different types of coercive measures, especially seclusion and physical restraint (holding), has also been scrutinized by an array of researchers (Aguilera-Serrano et al 2018;Cusack et al 2018;Krieger et al 2018). However, as suggested by Kontio et al (2012), only a minority of this research has examined patients' perceptions of coercive measures as a process; that is, it includes situations before, during, and after exposure to coercion.…”

To reduce the use and duration of mechanical restraint in forensic settings and ensure evidence‐based patient care, we need more knowledge about patients’ subjective experiences and perceptions. The aim was to investigate forensic psychiatric patients’ perceptions of situations associated with the use of mechanical restraint and what they perceive as factors impacting the use and duration of mechanical restraint. Twenty participants were interviewed. Four themes were identified through a thematic analysis: ‘overt protest reactions’, ‘silent protest reactions’, ‘illness‐related behaviour’, and ‘genuinely calm’, which together characterize patients’ perceptions of their ways of acting and reacting during mechanical restraint episodes. These themes are linked together in two patterns in the process of mechanical restraint: ‘pattern of protest’ and ‘pattern of illness’. Further research is needed to illuminate the associations between patients’ perceptions of being subjected to mechanical restraint and ways of acting and reacting through the process of mechanical restraint.
