[Patients' evaluation of coercion in a psychiatric department. Interview studies in psychiatric departments for adult patients at the Hillerød hospital].
During an 11 month period, use of coercion was prospectively registered in a psychiatric department. Of all patients who had been subjected to coercion 36% were (n = 86) interviewed subsequently. Eleven percent of the interviewed patients did not know, that they had been submitted to coercion, 22% did not know the reason and 30% did not agree with the motivation for the decision. Forty-seven percent were satisfied with the information they had been given concerning how to complain of their treatment, 50% were satisfied with their adviser and 70% were satisfied with their overall admission. Sixty-five percent accepted that there should be a law allowing the use of coercion in psychiatry.
