| description | Objective: Aggression is a significant problem seen in
psychiatric clinics, which can cause physical and psychological
trauma. The aim of this study is to investigate
aggression and restriction methods in psychiatric settings
of a training and research hospital. Method: This
descriptive study was conducted in psychiatry services
and the Alcohol and Substance Addiction Research
Treatment and Education Center between April 1, 2014
and March 31, 2015. The data were collected retrospectively
reviewing the completed registration forms immediately
after the incident by the clinical nurses. Results:
The number of aggression events in the services was
554. It was found that the majority of the events were
intended and actual self-harm and occured in the general
psychiatry service. The majority of the events were
seen during shift hours in august and in summer.
Examining restriction methods it was found that no
restraining method was used and therapeutic interviews
were conducted in the majority of events and that the
most commonly used restriction methods were mechanical
restraint and intramuscular medication used with
mechanical restraint. Discussion: It is a positive result
that restriction methods were not used in the majority of
events. The treatment activities must be planned outside
normal working hours and in the evening to increase the
interaction between patients and staff. Studies regarding
recognition, reporting, controlling of aggression that
became an important problem for safety of patient and
staff in psychiatry services should be done. |
