Résumé
The use of physical restraint had caused a series of unexpected impacts on patients, particularly psychological trauma. This qualitative study aimed to identify perspectives on physical restraint among patients with mental health conditions and to seek effective interventions targeting the psychological trauma which is caused by physical restraint. A semi-structured interview was conducted in a public psychiatric hospital in China to explore perspectives on physical restraint among 26 patients who had undergone or witnessed physical restraint. The interview was conducted by experienced and qualified interviewers with mental health service backgrounds. The interviews were recorded and transcribed into words, and then preliminary themes were extracted and coded, finally thematic analysis was used to identify focused themes. Five themes were extracted: these were as follows: (1) The negative effects of physical restraint on patients; (2) The impairment of the relationship between nurse and patient due to physical restraint; (3) The decrease in patients' treatment adherence caused by physical restraint; (4) The positive outcomes of physical restraint; (5) The expectations of patients for improving the quality of nursing care. Conclusively, the use of physical restraint had critical impacts on patients, including psychological trauma, destruction of the nurse-patient relationship, and decreased adherence of treatment. These negative effects could impede clinical work.
