title: Evaluation of a hospital staff's knowledge regarding the use of physical restraint.
abstract: A hospital nursing staff's understanding of policy and practice when using physical restraints and safety devices was evaluated using the knowledge test contained in a restraint research project designed at the University of New York at Buffalo. Although overall understanding of restraint use and policy was good, this evaluation pointed out areas of need that will be addressed in future education programs.
