| Scientific title | Reducing physical restraints in psycho-geriatric nursing home residents |
| Study objectives | It is hypothesized that an educational intervention will lead to a reduction of restraint use in psycho-geriatric nursing home residents. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Physical restraint use |
| Intervention | The educational intervention consists of an educational programme combined with consultation with a nurse specialist. The educational intervention is designed to comply with the decision-making process concerning restraint use defined in a Dutch guideline for restraint use in care situations and to cause nurses to embrace a philosophy of restraint-free care and be familiar with techniques of individualized care. Nurses in the experimental group attended the educational programme on restraint use. Furthermore, consultation with a nurse specialist was introduced on the experimental wards. There was no educational intervention in the control group and residents received the normal care. |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | 1. Restraint prevalence: the percentage of residents observed restrained at any time during the 24-hour period 2. Restraint intensity: the number of times in four observations that a particular resident is restrained 3. Restraint types: restraint types used in residents 4. Multiple restraint: the number of different restraint types used per resident recorded during the four observations |
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. Residents' characteristics, like demographic characteristics, cognitive status, self performance in activities of daily living, mobility, fall incidence, fall-related injuries and psycho-active drug use 2. Organisational characteristics, like workload of nurses and staffing level on the wards |
