          Abstract

          Zusammenfassung. Hintergrund: Freiheitsentziehende Maßnahmen (FEM) sind trotz damit assoziierter Risiken und unerwünschter Ereignisse noch immer in der täglichen Versorgungspraxis der Langzeitpflege zu beobachten. Vergleichsweise wenig Untersuchungen liegen für Normalstationen vor. Fragestellung/Ziel: Die explorative Querschnittsstudie untersuchte Prävalenzen, Arten und Gründe von FEM auf neun ausgewählten Normalstationen eines Klinikums der Maximalversorgung. Methoden: Die Prävalenzen und Arten von FEM wurden im Früh- und Spätdienst im Sommer 2020 über direkte Beobachtung mittels standardisierter Beobachtungsbögen erhoben. Die Gründe für die Anwendung wurden über eine standardisierte Befragung der Pflegekräfte erfasst. Ergebnisse: Im Frühdienst hatten von 167 Patientinnen und Patienten 15 eine FEM (9%), im Spätdienst waren es 23 von 191 (12%). Am stärksten betroffen waren jeweils über 80-Jährige ( n = 8; 23,5% bzw. n = 14, 25,9%). Die höchste Prävalenz fand sich mit 21,4% ( n = 3) und 37,5% ( n = 6) in der Klinik für Neurogeriatrie. Besonders häufig wurden Bettseitenteile angewendet ( n = 14; 93,3% bzw. n = 22; 95,7%). Begründet wurden die FEM überwiegend mit dem Schutz vor Sturzverletzungen ( n = 8; 53,3% und n = 15; 65,2%). Schlussfolgerungen: Die Sensibilisierung des Pflegepersonals mittels Schulungen und weiterer begleitender Maßnahmen stellen Ansatzpunkte zur Reduzierung von FEM dar. Um nachhaltige Veränderungen zu erreichen, sollte die Leitungsebene entsprechende Maßnahmen initiieren und konsequent in ihrer Umsetzung begleiten.

          Physical restraints in acute hospitals: A quantitative observational study as a starting point for the further development of quality management

          Abstract. Background: Despite the known associated risks and adverse events, physical restraints are mostly observed in daily care practice of long-term care. Comparatively few studies are available for normal wards. Research question/aim: The explorative cross-sectional study investigated prevalences, types and reasons of physical restraints in nine selected normal wards of a maximum care hospital. Methods: The prevalences and types of physical restraints were collected in the early and late shift in summer 2020 via direct observation using standardised observation forms. The reasons for the use were recorded via a standardised survey of the nursing staff. Results: In the early shift, 15 out of 167 patients had physical restraints (9%), in the late shift 23 out of 191 (12%). People over 80 years were most affected ( n = 8; 23.5% and n = 14, 25.9%). The highest prevalence was found in the clinic for neurogeriatrics with 21.4% ( n = 3) and 37.5% ( n = 6). Bedside restraints were used particularly frequently ( n = 14; 93.3% and n = 22, 95.7%, resp.). The physical restraints were predominantly justified with the protection against fall injuries ( n = 8, 53.3% and n = 15, 65.2%). Conclusions: Raising awareness among nursing staff through training and other accompanying measures are starting points for reducing physical restraints. In order to achieve sustainable changes, the management level should initiate appropriate measures and consistently accompany their implementation.

            Attitudes of nurses towards the use of physical restraints in geriatric care: a systematic review of qualitative and quantitative studies.

            To examine nurses' attitudes towards the use of physical restraints in geriatric care. Systematic review and synthesis of qualitative and quantitative studies. The following databases were searched: Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE, Psyndex, PsychInfo, Social SciSearch, SciSearch, Forum Qualitative Social Research (1/1990 to 8/2013). We performed backward and forward citation tracking to all of the included studies. We included in the present review all qualitative and quantitative studies in English and German that investigated nurses' attitudes towards the use of physical restraints in geriatric care. Two independent reviewers selected the studies for inclusion and assessed the study quality. We performed a thematic synthesis for the qualitative studies and a content analysis of the questionnaires' items as well as a narrative synthesis for the quantitative surveys. We included 31 publications in the review: 20 quantitative surveys, 10 qualitative and 1 mixed-method study. In the qualitative studies, nurses' attitudes towards the use of physical restraints in geriatric care were predominately characterised by negative feelings towards the use of restraints; however, the nurses also described a perceived need for using restraints in clinical practice. This discrepancy led to moral conflicts, and nurses described several strategies for coping with these conflicts when restraints were used. When nurses were in doubt regarding the use of restraints, they decided predominantly in favour of using restraints. The results of the quantitative surveys were inconsistent regarding nurses' feelings towards the use of restraints in geriatric care. Prevention of falls was identified as a primary reason for using restraints. However, the items of the questionnaires focussed primarily on the reasons for the use of restraints rather than on the attitudes of nurses. Despite the lack of evidence regarding the benefits of restraints and the evidence on the adverse effects, nurses often decided in favour of using restraints when in doubt and they used strategies to cope with negative feelings when they used restraints. A clear policy change in geriatric care institutions towards restraint-free care seems to be warranted to change clinical practice. The results of this review should also be considered in the development of interventions aimed at reducing the use of restraints. Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

              Why do we use physical restraints in the elderly?

              The use of physical restraints in the elderly is a common practice in many countries. This paper summarizes the current knowledge on the use of restraints in home care, hospitals and nursing homes. Between 1999-2004 the reported prevalence numbers range from 41-64% in nursing homes and 33-68% in hospitals; numbers of restraint use in home care are unknown. Bed rails and belts have been reported as the most frequently used restraints in bed; chairs with a table and belts are the most frequently reported restraints in a chair. It is evident that physical restraints in most cases are used as safety measures; the main reason is the prevention of falls. In the hospital setting, the safe use of medical devices is also an important reason for restraint use. Predictors for the use of physical restraints are poor mobility, impaired cognitive status and high dependency of the elderly patient and the risk of falls in the nurses' opinion. Furthermore, there are indications that restraint use is related to organizational characteristics. Finally, many adverse effects of restraint use have been reported in the literature, like falls, pressure sores, depression, aggression, and death. Because of the adverse effects of restraints and the growing evidence that physical restraints are no adequate measure for the prevention of falls, measures for the reduction of physical restraints are discussed and recommendations are made for future research.
