RODRIGUEZ-MONTEJANO, José et al. A current dilemma: Does the use of restraints as a therapeutic technique guarantee the dignity of the person?. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2022, vol.serVI, n.1, e21068. Epub 11-Jul-2022. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/rv21068.
Background:
Restraint as a therapeutic technique has been controversial over time. It is currently limited to emergency situations involving risk to the patient’s life or third parties.
Objective:
To know therapeutic techniques for restraining the person, review their side effects, and promote good practice.
Methodology:
Literature review related to the containment of people. Interpretative analysis of information gathered from documents, articles, books, and laws, using Gadamer’s hermeneutics.
Results:
We reflected on restraint use for containing patients as a therapeutic measure over time. We investigated the ethical aspects and examined the legislative framework in depth. The implications that this practice may have for health personnel were analyzed.
Conclusion:
It is necessary to promote comfort care measures that mitigate and limit the use of restraint in the person with behavioral disorders and/or special needs, thus guaranteeing their rights and dignity.
