    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare education
    • Patient safety
    • Behavioral science

    Background:

    • Restraint use in healthcare settings remains a concern.
    • Traditional approaches often focus on behavior control rather than understanding.
    • A shift towards individualized care is needed to improve patient well-being.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the philosophical underpinnings of restraint reduction programs.
    • To identify essential components for effective staff education on restraint reduction.
    • To evaluate the impact of an educational intervention on restraint practices.

    Main Methods:

    • The educational program's philosophical premises align with quality care and individualized approaches.
    • Interactive teaching and staff collaboration are crucial for successful implementation.
    • Altering staff beliefs and increasing knowledge led to short-term changes in restraint practices.

    Conclusions:

    • Educational interventions can positively influence staff attitudes and practices regarding restraint reduction.
    • A focus on understanding behavior and individualized care is fundamental.
    • Further research is needed to sustain these changes long-term.
