Background: Involuntary psychiatric treatment remains a contentious issue
globally, with many countries implementing forms of coercive treatment for
patients deemed unsafe due to psychiatric diagnoses. Nurses play an important
role in involuntary psychiatric care- however there is a need for an increased
understanding of the experiences and needs of the patients to be able to
provide good care.
Purpose: This study aimed to explore and understand the experiences of
patients undergoing involuntary psychiatric treatment.
Method: A qualitative literature analysis was conducted, encompassing 10
qualitative articles.
Key Findings: Recent data highlights that most patients reported a lack of
compassion and overall negative experience during involuntary psychiatric
hospitalisation.
