Experience of patients with restraints in acute care hospitals and the view of their relatives: A qualitative study
ConclusionThe involvement of patients and relatives in the decision-making process about restraint use seems to be low. Healthcare professionals need to be better educated to be able to pass on adequate information and to involve patients and their relatives adequately in all processes of restraint use. However, when relatives are involved in decision-making as proxies for patients, it is important to consider that patients' and relatives' opinions on restraints may differ.Patient or Public ContributionPatients and relatives agreed to participate in the study and shared their experiences with us.
