Clinical correlates and predictors of perceived coercion among psychiatric inpatients: A prospective pilot study.

CONCLUSION: Coercion is a dynamic state and changes with treatment and care. Clinical care may result in an improvement in global functioning, insight as well as in reduction in severity of illness consequently leading to less coercion. During the time of discharge, majority of patients reported that their admission was justified, even though they felt coerced during hospital stay and agreed for treatment against their will within a safe, standardised coercive practice.
