[The use of coercion at psychiatric departments for adults, Hillerød hospital. A descriptive study of the period 10 January 1991-31 August 1992].
The study describes the type and amount of coercion used during 11 months of 1992. Four hundred and fourty-one cases were included. Young patients i.e. 10 to 29 years old, demented patients and patients suffering from organic psychoses were, overall, more often subjected to coercive measures. When looking at each type of coercion separately, it was found that detainment, compulsive treatment and fixation were especially used on the young and on patients suffering from schizophrenia. However, fixation used as a protective measure was mainly used on the demented and the 60 to 79 year-old patients.
