Observation is a common procedure that is controversial as it may be experienced by patients as oppressive. This article discusses the nature of observation in mental health inpatient units, concluding that the practice is likely to continue as it provides a written record of what has occurred. However, the quality of nursing intervention is more likely to have a significant impact on patients than is observation.
观察是一种常见的程序，但存在争议，因为患者可能会觉得它具有压迫性。本文讨论了精神科住院病房中观察的性质，得出的结论是，这种做法可能会继续存在，因为它能提供所发生事情的书面记录。然而，护理干预的质量对患者的影响可能比观察更大。
