TY - JOUR PY - 2024// TI - How should suicide prevention and healing be expressed as goals of inpatient psychiatric unit design? JO - AMA journal of ethics A1 - McIntosh, Jennifer T. A1 - Shattell, Mona SP - E199 EP - 204 VL - 26 IS - 3 N2 - Inpatient psychiatric units' policies and restrictions for suicide prevention can exacerbate harm rather than promote wellness. This commentary on a case examines ethics concerns about prevention policies that overly rely on liberty restriction, as expressed in the design of inpatient psychiatric unit structures and spaces. Person-centered approaches to design are key to promoting healing and preserving dignity.
