Article Abstract:

Data from a cross-sectional survey are used to identify clinical variables in a psychiatric inpatient unit that may make physical restraint in a particular patient restraint position more likely. The study suggests that an opportunity is clearly available to influence the nature of physical intervention through quite minimal changes to training programmes and the principle of its use as a last resort in the event of loss of control has to be maintained.
