The purpose of this investigation was to register if the new Danish law concerning commitment and compulsory procedures in psychiatry from 1.10.1989 caused changes in the use of restraints. During the period 1.2.1988-30.9.1991 all compulsory procedures in the Department of Psychiatry, Frederiksberg Hospital, were registered. A total of 145 patients were restrained during 167 admissions. No changes were registered in the number of restraints in connection with the law reform, but the duration of the fixations increased by 42%. The number of medications given forcibly in connection with the restraints increased significantly. One of the purposes of the the law reform was to reduce the number and duration of restraints. This purpose has not been fulfilled.
本次调查的目的是确定1989年10月1日起实施的丹麦有关精神病学强制住院和强制程序的新法律是否导致了约束措施使用情况的变化。在1988年2月1日至1991年9月30日期间，对腓特烈斯贝格医院精神科的所有强制程序进行了记录。在167次住院期间，共有145名患者受到约束。与法律改革相关的约束措施数量未发生变化，但固定约束的持续时间增加了42%。与约束措施相关的强制用药数量显著增加。法律改革的目的之一是减少约束措施的数量和持续时间。这一目的尚未实现。
