PREVENTING MECHANICAL RESTRAINT IN FORENSIC MENTAL HEALTH CARE: A SECONDARY ANALYSIS OF INTERVIEWS WITH PATIENTS, CARERS, NURSING ASSISTANTS AND NURSING STAFF.
— STAFF
Restraint practice sits squarely in coercive forensic practice, and the finding that staff fear and conflict tolerance — not only patient behaviour — drive belt restraint is a useful frame for restraint-reduction programmes and for anyone asked to opine on whether a restraint episode met the standard of care. But this is a single-site qualitative secondary analysis generating hypotheses, not evidence that changes any obligation, evaluation method, or defensible assertion; nothing about Monday's practice is different.
