Abstract
Increasing reliance on physical restraint devices within hospital settings can be attributed to many reasons, perhaps including litigation. Restraint use represents a quality improvement issue; therefore, a review of all studies involving restraints in acute care settings was conducted. Results of a descriptive study using focus groups is also included. The focus groups explored the decision-making process nurses used in restraining or releasing a patient from a mechanical device.
