Associate factors of coercive measures
Results
Lower communication and socialization functioning was associated with more coercive measures. Challenging behavior was associated with coercive measures applied at direct and unforeseen danger. Also, staff attribution with regard to the stability of challenging behaviour was associated with the total of coercive measures applied. Found associations concerning Lower communication and socialization functioning and challenging behavior remained significant in a multivariate model with all resident related variables, the association concerning staffs attribution on the stability of challenging behavior did not remain. Only the association with challenging behavior remained significant if staff factors were included as well.
Discussion
To improve our understanding of the use of coercive measures, research may need to move beyond static resident- and staff-related factors.
