Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Scholars from around the world have been strongly advocating restraint-free care in long-term care institutions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a multifactorial intervention to reduce physical restraints for care providers in nursing homes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In Taiwanese nursing homes, the use of physical restraints on residents as a protective measure is fairly common. However, physical restraints can be seen as a violation of human rights, and there is no guarantee of the effectiveness or safety of such physical restraints.This study was to evaluate the effects of a multifactorial intervention to reduce physical restraints for care providers in nursing homes. A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted using pretest-posttest control group design. A purposive sampling of participants was chosen from care providers of 6 nursing home institutions in Taiwan, who were then randomly assigned to the experimental group (3 nursing homes) or the control group (3 nursing homes). The experimental group underwent multifactorial interventions to reduce physical restraint.
