Book excerpt: Behavioral crises on an acute care behavioral health unit are often managed using restraint and seclusion, which are high-risk and coercive measures utilized by many healthcare facilities to control maladaptive, disruptive, and potentially unsafe behaviors. The use of these measures may have a negative impact on the organization, patients, and staff alike. Those in favor of reducing or eliminating physical restraint and seclusion discuss not only the physical and emotional challenges attached to these actions, but also the economic burden after its use. The author describes a research project with a pre- and post-study design. The study explains the impact of formal de-escalation training program on staff confidence managing challenging behaviors and the reduction of restraint and seclusion episodes. The benefits of the educational interventions aimed at reducing the incidences of restraint and/or seclusion are discussed. -- From abstract.
