Book Description
This book explores the utilisation of seclusions and restraints in schools. In certain circumstances, teachers and other staff may decide that it is necessary to restrain or seclude children in order to protect them from harming themselves or others. Some doctors and teachers contend that using seclusions and restraints can reduce injury and agitation and that it would be very difficult for organisations to run programs for children and adults with special needs without being able to use these methods. The authors highlight cases where staff at some programs employed unsafe restraint techniques, resulting in the death and abuse of teens in their care. Recent reports by advocacy groups indicate that similar restraint techniques have been used at public and private schools throughout the country.

Toward Reducing the Utilization of Seclusion and Restraint

Book Description
With increasing scrutiny on the use of seclusion and restraint on America's troubled youth, it is important for psychiatric hospital providers to find ways to minimize the frequency and length of use of seclusion and restraint. The present study took advantage of a unique opportunity to investigate the effects of policy implementation in August 1999 by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and subsequent policy implementation in January 2000 by a non-profit child and adolescent psychiatric hospital. A Univariate ANOVA was completed that showed significant reductions in the length of time of seclusions and restraints following implementation of CMS policy and the use of mechanical restraints were eliminated. Additional decreases were noted with the next policy implementation. Significant relationships were also noted pertaining to type of special measure, diagnosis, and age. These results indicated the importance of administrative leadership in shaping seclusion and restraint practices and show the lack of psychological technology to address violence prediction and prevention. Recommendations for future study are included.

Collaborative Problem Solving
Author: Alisha R. Pollastri
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030126307
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
This book is the first to systematically describe the key components necessary to ensure successful implementation of Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) across mental health settings and non-mental health settings that require behavioral management. This resource is designed by the leading experts in CPS and is focused on the clinical and implementation strategies that have proved most successful within various private and institutional agencies. The book begins by defining the approach before delving into the neurobiological components that are key to understanding this concept. Next, the book covers the best practices for implementation and evaluating outcomes, both in the long and short term. The book concludes with a summary of the concept and recommendations for additional resources, making it an excellent concise guide to this cutting edge approach. Collaborative Problem Solving is an excellent resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and all medical professionals working to manage troubling behaviors. The text is also valuable for readers interested in public health, education, improved law enforcement strategies, and all stakeholders seeking to implement this approach within their program, organization, and/or system of care.

Finding What Works in Health Care
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309164257
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
Healthcare decision makers in search of reliable information that compares health interventions increasingly turn to systematic reviews for the best summary of the evidence. Systematic reviews identify, select, assess, and synthesize the findings of similar but separate studies, and can help clarify what is known and not known about the potential benefits and harms of drugs, devices, and other healthcare services. Systematic reviews can be helpful for clinicians who want to integrate research findings into their daily practices, for patients to make well-informed choices about their own care, for professional medical societies and other organizations that develop clinical practice guidelines. Too often systematic reviews are of uncertain or poor quality. There are no universally accepted standards for developing systematic reviews leading to variability in how conflicts of interest and biases are handled, how evidence is appraised, and the overall scientific rigor of the process. In Finding What Works in Health Care the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends 21 standards for developing high-quality systematic reviews of comparative effectiveness research. The standards address the entire systematic review process from the initial steps of formulating the topic and building the review team to producing a detailed final report that synthesizes what the evidence shows and where knowledge gaps remain. Finding What Works in Health Care also proposes a framework for improving the quality of the science underpinning systematic reviews. This book will serve as a vital resource for both sponsors and producers of systematic reviews of comparative effectiveness research.
