Physical Restraint of the Hospitalized Elderly: Perceptions Of Patients and Nurses
Abstract
Twenty elderly restrained patients and their primary nurses (N = 18) were studied to determine (a) the subjective impact of physical restraints on the patient and (b) the nurses' beliefs about use of restraints. Despite reported cognitive impairments, patients vividly described anger, discomfort, resistance, and fear in response to the experience of physical restraint. The decision to restrain posed a conflict between protection of the patient and beliefs about professional behavior for the nursing staff. Lack of interdisciplinary collaboration in decisions to use a physical restraint was also apparent. The findings suggest that the use of physical restraint is not a benign practice and support the need for developing alternatives more consistent with professional practice and quality care.

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.
