Abstract
This study compares the attitudes of nonsecluded patients hospitalized on psychiatric units with either isolated or visible seclusion rooms. It was found that there were minimal differences between units. Patients at the hospital with visible seclusion rooms more often indicate that patients are often cured in such rooms, in contrast to the patients on the other unit who endorsed more stereotypical perceptions of the quiet room.Keywords
