Factors associated with the use and longer duration of seclusion and restraint in psychiatric inpatient settings: a retrospective chart review.

CONCLUSIONS: A variety of factors are associated with the use and longer duration of SR. Given the potentially harmful effects of these practices, further studies with larger samples and a wider range of quantitative outcome measures are warranted. Key points An F00 diagnosis, a history of epilepsy and antipsychotics usage may increase the use of SR. Antidepressants may decrease the use of SR. An F00 and F32 diagnosis may extend the duration of SR.
