Keywords:

• Mechanical restraint;
• mental disorder;
• nursing;
• psychiatry;
• systematic review

PURPOSE:  

To identify interventions preventing mechanical restraints.

DESIGN AND METHODS:  

Systematic review of international research papers dealing with mechanical restraint. The review combines qualitative and quantitative research in a new way, describing the quality of evidence and the effect of intervention.

FINDINGS:  

Implementation of cognitive milieu therapy, combined interventions, and patient-centered care were the three interventions most likely to reduce the number of mechanical restraints.

PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS:  

There is a lack of high-quality and effective intervention studies. This leaves patients and mental health professionals with uncertainty when choosing interventions in an attempt to prevent mechanical restraints.
