Abstract
Reducing restraint on residents in Hong Kong care home settings Individuals from the Jockey Club Centre for Positive Ageing discuss reducing using restraint on residents in Hong Kong care home settings. Restraint use among residents in care home settings could be significantly reduced by implementing a multi-component restraint reduction programme, a research study conducted by Jockey Club Centre for Positive Ageing (JCCPA) said. (1) The study involved the implementation of a comprehensive programme over 12 months. The programme included staff training, examination of current care practices, environmental design modifications, monthly case conferences, and support from multidisciplinary experts. Implemented in two care homes, the programme demonstrated a significant 30% reduction in restraints. One of the primary reasons for employing restraints, fall prevention from chairs, was also significantly reduced following the implementation of the restraint reduction programme.
