Page 14 - Reduction of coercive measures

Summary and general discussion
injurious and stereotyped behaviour were associated with coercive measures that are applied at direct and unforeseen danger. Finally, results of an effectiveness trial of a multi component program on the reduction of coercive measures was reported in Chapter five. The program focused on increasing awareness of support staff members and professionals and registration at the organizational level, multidisciplinary consulting at the residential care unit level, and multidisciplinary intervention at the resident level.
Finally, in this last chapter the main findings are summarized, integrated, and discussed. These findings should be considered in the light of the strengths and weaknesses of the study and are therefore described. Theoretical implications and future research directions are addressed, and the implications for clinical practice are discussed.
