[Patient advisors and coercion in psychiatry. The situation 3 months after the introduction of the Act on restriction of liberty and other coercive measures in psychiatry].
Ugeskrift for Laeger 1990 August 7
In a retrospective investigation, we attempted to estimate the effect of introduction of a new law about coercive measures and loss of liberty in psychiatric wards during the first three months after enforcement of the law. By examination of case reports we found that 69 patients, i.e. 14%, were exposed to one or several types of coercive measures. Restraint was the most frequent form of coercive measures. Eight patients lodged complaints about the coercive measures. The decisions of the psychiatrists were all sanctioned. Replies to complaints about treatment with coersion were available within five to 14 days. In an investigation by questionnaire, we found that there was satisfaction with the patient advisors introduced in the wards by the new law. Collaboration with the patient advisors took considerable time for the staff members. Both staff members, doctors and patient advisors suggest that the patient advisors should receive more education in psychiatry. We suggest changes in the law when this is revised.
