Study takes a step back to look at use of restraints in hospitals

(Springer) The use of belts, bedrails and other devices to prevent patients from hurting themselves has increasingly come under fire. Within a hospital setting, the use of such restraints may be reduced by ensuring that the nursing staff includes a sufficient number of registered nurses, says Vincent Staggs of Children's Mercy Hospital and the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He led a study which appears in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, published by Springer.
