Users' Experience of Treatment and Coercion in an Inpatient Medium-Stay Psychiatric Rehabilitation Unit: A Mixed Methods Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Coercion influences mental health services users' experience of care and can hinder their recovery process, so it is essential to understand how it is perceived in rehabilitation settings oriented towards recovery.

Aim

To describe and measure users' experience of coercion and explore their perception of the treatment received in an inpatient medium-stay psychiatric rehabilitation unit (IMSPRU).

Method

This study, in which 75 service users participated, used a mixed methods approach. Twenty participants were administered a semistructured interview and completed quantitative measures for coercion and 55 additional service users completed the quantitative measurements only. The perception of coercion was measured using the Coercion Experience Scale.
