The use of restraints in nursing home settings has become an important issue today. While nurses are striving to keep residents safe, they may be compromising the autonomy of the residents. This paper will review the literature, looking at the types of restraints used, the prevalence of use in the United States, Canada and Australia; as well as the rationale behind the use, the effects of using restraints, as well as look at some suggested alternatives to restraints.
