    • Explores the experience of restraint removal for patients and the subsequent caregiving challenges for staff.

    Findings:

    • Removing restraints necessitates changes in nursing practices and the care environment.
    • Addressing patient behaviors and safety risks is crucial for successful de-escalation from restraints.

    Implications:
