    • To explore alternative nursing interventions for managing patient aggression.
    • To identify strategies that promote safer and faster patient reintegration.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on patient management strategies.
    • Analysis of alternative interventions to seclusion, including early intervention, de-escalation techniques, and time-out strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Seclusion can create a cycle of negative behavior.
    • Alternative methods such as early intervention, ignoring outbursts, brief separation, and gentle communication are presented.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses should prioritize patient reintegration into the group.
    • Alternative strategies to seclusion can achieve safer and quicker patient reintegration.
