“…Although not always included in aggression management programmes, refreshers are considered essential (Thackrey & Bobbitt 1990, Wright 1999, Southcott et al . 2002) to increase confidence and to ensure staff competence does not diminish over time (McGowan et al .…”

Inpatient mental health clinicians need to feel safe in the workplace. They also require confidence in their ability to work with aggressive patients, allowing the provision of therapeutic care while protecting themselves and other patients from psychological and physical harm. The authors initiated this study with the predetermined belief that a comprehensive and integrated organizational approach to inpatient aggression was required to support clinicians and that this approach increased confidence and staff perceptions of personal safety. To assess perceptions of personal safety and confidence, clinicians in a forensic psychiatric hospital were surveyed using an adapted version of the Confidence in Coping With Patient Aggression Instrument. In this study clinicians reported the hospital as safe. They reported confidence in their work with aggressive patients. The factors that most impacted on clinicians' confidence to manage aggression were colleagues' knowledge, experience and skill, management of aggression training, use of prevention and intervention strategies, teamwork and the staff profile. These results are considered with reference to an expanding literature on inpatient aggression. It is concluded that organizational resources, policies and frameworks support clinician perceptions of safety and confidence to manage inpatient aggression. However, how these are valued by clinicians and translated into practice at unit level needs ongoing attention.

“…Spending more time in teaching the theoretical underpinning of preventative strategies appears less effective in managing disturbed behaviour. A mismatch between the training provided and the need for specific techniques (Southcott et al, 2002) by the patients may be another possible reason. Training may need to be more targeted and more sensitive to the ward environment, patient characteristics and staff's needs.…”

“…D'autres comportements identifiés sont la fugue, le refus de collaborer, le refus de prendre une médication, l'automutilation, la désorientation, les menaces, le bris de matériel et la violence (Keski-Valkama et al, 2010;Gudjonsson, Rabe-Hesketh & Szmukler, 2004;Ryan & Bowers, 2006;Southcott, Howard & Collins, 2002;Raboch et al, 2010;Lee et al, 2003). Toutefois, quelques études révèlent que la violence est rarement mentionnée comme cause (Ryan & Bowers, 2006;Kaltiala-Heino, 2003;Laiho et al, 2013) (Gelkopf et al, 2009).…”

L’usage des contentions mécaniques dans les milieux psychiatriques fait aujourd’hui l’objet de nombreuses controverses éthiques. Toutefois, on note l’absence des voix des patients et du personnel infirmier en regard de cette intervention controversée. L’objectif de cette étude qualitative était d’examiner l’expérience vécue du personnel infirmier exerçant en psychiatrie faisant usage de la contention mécanique. Vingt-et-un(e) infirmier(e)s travaillant sur les unités de psychiatrie et d’urgence psychiatrique d’un centre hospitalier universitaire canadien ont participé à des entrevues semi-dirigées, qui ont ensuite été transcrites, codées et analysées selon la méthode d’analyse interprétative phénoménologique (AIP). Trois thèmes principaux ont été identifiés : 1) contexte de pratique ; 2) processus de contentions ; et 3) recourir à la contention mécanique. Les résultats de cette recherche phénoménologique mettent en lumière les défis organisationnels et émotionnels auxquels est confronté le personnel infirmier exerçant en psychiatrie. Les perspectives de Foucault et Goffman ont été les sources théoriques primaires qui ont guidé le processus d’analyse critique mené lors de cette recherche qualitative.
