Outline of Final Research Achievements

Restrictions in patients' freedom of movement, such as physical restraint and seclusion, have negative impacts on patients and healthcare providers. Our goal is to create an environment in which service providers are aware of their own feelings and have dialogues with patients/users. This type of environment would develop the service setting into a place where restraints are not required. Therefore, we developed a dialogue-oriented training workshop that is based on peer support relationships by reference to Intentional Peer Support. The workshop participants reported that they noticed the importance of being aware of their feelings. We were unable to reach the phase of examining the effect on decreasing physical restraint and seclusion.
