A plea for respect: involuntarily hospitalized psychiatric patients’ narratives about being subjected to coercion
Abstract
Eighteen involuntarily hospitalized psychiatric patients narrated their experiences of being subjected to coercion and their thoughts on how to prevent the coercion. A qualitative content analysis identified recurring themes, which were incorporated in two core themes describing the participants' experience. The core theme Not being respected as a human being included most of their narrated experiences, described in the themes Not being involved in one's own care, Receiving care perceived as meaningless and not good, and Being an inferior kind of human being. The core theme Being respected as a human being included a minor part of the narrated experiences and how the participants wanted things to be, described in the themes Being involved in one's own care, Receiving good care, and Being a human being like other people. The participants' plea for respect is discussed in relation to the ongoing deinstitutionalization of psychiatric care and the need for attitude changes in care and community, leading to the treating of mentally disordered people with more respect.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
