Patients' experiences with coercive measures in psychiatry : A structured literature review (English)
Abstract [en]
Background: Every year, many patients with mental health problems are admitted to compulsory care under the Compulsory Psychiatric Care Act (LPT). There is a significant risk of patients injuring themselves or others. To prevent these risks, coercive measures which often infringe patients’ privacy and restrict their autonomy are employed. Therefore, it is crucial to consider patients' experiences of coercive measures to protect their privacy, autonomy and to reduce the need for coercive measure by providing person-centered care.
Aim: The aim of the literature review was to describe adult patients' experiences of coercive measures in psychiatry.
Method: Structured literature review with a qualitative approach is used. Fifteen scientific articles were identified using three databases: PubMed, CINAHL, PsycInfo. Two additional articles were found via Google Scholar and included. Data was analyzed using thematic analysis.
Results: Participants described negative and to some extent positive experiences with coercion measures. Three themes were identified: Negative experience regarding health, vulnerability and autonomy, Positive experience of coercive measure and alternative measures, and participation and communication were described as the experience of the patients.
Conclusion: Coercive measures have both negative and positive experiences where the negatives can be mitigated through effective communication with patients. In addition, nurses play a significant role in providing patients person-centered care in the context of coercive measures.
