To evaluate the impact of the implementation of a guideline for the management of personality disorders on reducing the frequency of use of mechanical restraints in a psychiatric inpatient unit.
This retrospective study was conducted in a psychiatric inpatient unit with 42 beds, which serves an urban area of 330,000 inhabitants. The sample consisted of all patients with a clinical diagnosis of personality disorder (DSM-IV-TR criteria) who were admitted to the unit from January 2010 to December 2010 and from January 2011 to December 2011 (ie, before and after, respectively, the implementation of the guideline). The guideline focused on cluster B disorders and follows a psychodynamic perspective.
Restraint use was reduced from 38 of 87 patients with personality disorders (43.7%) to 3 of 112 (2.7%), for a relative risk of 0.06 (95% CI, 0.02-0.19) and an absolute risk reduction of 41% (95% CI, 29.9%-51.6%). The risk of being discharged against medical advice increased after the intervention, with a relative risk of 1.84 (95% CI, 0.96-3.51). Restraint use in patients with other diagnoses was also reduced to a similar extent.
The use of mechanical restraints was dramatically reduced after the implementation of a clinical practice guideline on personality disorders, suggesting that these coercive measures might be decreased in psychiatric inpatient units.
评估实施人格障碍管理指南对减少精神科住院单元使用机械约束频率的影响。
本回顾性研究在一个拥有42张床位、服务于33万居民城区的精神科住院单元进行。样本包括2010年1月至2010年12月以及2011年1月至2011年12月(即分别在指南实施前后)入住该单元且临床诊断为人格障碍(依据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版修订版标准)的所有患者。该指南聚焦于B类人格障碍,遵循精神动力学视角。
人格障碍患者中使用约束的比例从87例中的38例(43.7%)降至112例中的3例(2.7%),相对风险为0.06(95%置信区间,0.02 - 0.19),绝对风险降低41%(95%置信区间,29.9% - 51.6%)。干预后违反医嘱出院的风险增加,相对风险为1.84(95%置信区间,0.96 - 3.51)。其他诊断患者的约束使用也有类似程度的减少。
实施人格障碍临床实践指南后,机械约束的使用显著减少,这表明在精神科住院单元这些强制性措施可能会减少。
