Abstract
Physical restraint is an ultimate instrument which can be adopted when relational and pharmacological containment is ineffective or not suitable. Its intents are to reduce aggressive and/or dangerous behaviour, with the aim of solving the condition which caused it, and, meantime, to ensure the safety of both patient and medical personnel. The purpose of this work is to examine the behaviour of inpatients and assess whether the response of staff is appropriate. Finally, it has the aim of inviting operators to reflect on the need to adopt the more appropriate containment and on whether physical restraint is actually useful.
