TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Conflict management: a qualitative study of mental health staff's perceptions of factors that may influence conflicts with forensic mental health inpatients JO - Archives of psychiatric nursing A1 - Fluttert, Frans A1 - Baker, John A1 - Vogn, Dorit A1 - Fallesen, Janni Petersen A1 - Gildberg, Frederik Alkier SP - 407 EP - 417 VL - 35 IS - 5 N2 - Internationally, clinical services are under pressure to reduce their use of restrictive practices. The aim was to explore how mental health nurses and nursing assistants perceive conflict and their use of restrictive practices with mental health inpatients in forensic mental health care. A total of 24 semi-structured interviews with forensic mental health staff were conducted and analysed using thematic analysis. The findings propose a dynamic model that explains how tolerance of potential conflict situations changes depending on individual staff members' perceptions of patients and colleagues, and their relationships.
