EXPERIENCES OF FORENSIC PSYCHIATRIC NURSES REGARDING VIOLENCE AND ETHICAL DILEMMAS: A QUALITATIVE STUDY.

— STAFF

The paper is about coercive and custodial practice on forensic units rather than merely located in one, so it sits inside the standard-of-care and institutional-adequacy space the reader tracks — staffing, environment and training as antecedents of violence. But it is a small single-context interview study reporting themes already familiar from this literature; it establishes no obligation, changes no practice standard, and supplies no measurement an expert could cite on the adequacy of a unit's staffing or restraint practice.
