Abstract
Background Involuntary treatment in a psychiatric hospital is often a long, complicated process likely to elicit strong feelings in patients experiencing it. Relationships with hospital staff members might have an impact on patients' experiences and emotions. Qualitative research in this area would offer a better understanding of patients' views on the role of the ward staff and their involvement in their care.
