Палаты под замком вредят пациентам (сообщение CopperKettle)

Locked wards 'harm patients'

Исследование Len Bowers et al., London's City University.

Цитата:

But Bowers and his team found that it leads to patients feeling frustrated, stigmatised and depressed, and that can result in them being unruly. The policy increases the risk of physical aggression to others by 11 per cent, self-harm (20 per cent) and refusal of medication (22 per cent). The study found that while patients held this way are 25 per cent less likely to escape and commit suicide outside, those who cannot go out are more likely to feel worthless and suicidal.

Пишут, что риск агрессии повышается на 11%, самоповреждения на 20%, отказа от лекарств - на 22%. Шанс "побега и суицида снаружи" ниже на 25%.. но ниже пишут, что "Strict security does not reduce the 150-strong toll of such patients who take their own life each year, said Bowers."

В пабмеде Bowers есть, но не знаю, какая именно статья содержит это исследование.
