Nurses' Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices regarding the Use of Physical Restraint on Patients with COVID-19

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 infection increases the need for physical restraint in acute care settings. Objective: This study aims to examine nurses' knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding the use of physical restraint in patients with COVID-19. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted using online self-report questionnaires distributed to 285 intensive care nurses. In the data collection, “Nurses Information Form” and “Level of Knowledge, Attitude and Practices for Using Physical Restraint Scale for Nurses” were used. Results: The mean score of the total scale of the nurses was 76.11±9.21, the mean knowledge score was 8.07±1.60, the mean attitude score was 32.67±7.08, the mean practice score was 35.36±3.66. It was found that physical restraint usage rates of nurses increased significantly compared to the pre-pandemic period (p<0.05). 59.3% of the nurses stated that they gave the semi-fowler position who would undergo physical restraint, and all of them did not use an alternative method. Discussion: The knowledge of nurses about physical restraint is high, their attitudes and practices are positive toward patients with COVID-19. The nurses need training on alternatives to physical restraint. Future studies should focus on determining and developing alternatives to physical restraint and evaluating their effects on the rates of restraint in the patients.
