  • A minority of nurses found coercive measures ethically problematic, with forced medication (18%), four-point restraints (16%), and seclusion (11%) being most cited.
  • Female nurses and those on closed wards reported higher ethical concerns than their counterparts.

    • Conclusions:

    • Despite a focus on patient rights in Finland, most nurses did not perceive coercive measures as ethically problematic.
    • Further research, enhanced personnel education, and improved ethics training in nursing schools are recommended to foster moral reflection on coercive measure usage.
