An investigation on attitudes towards the use of coercion and mechanical restraint says it is possible to change the staff attitudes towards the use of coercion, e.g. mechanical restraint, through activating, diverse, and involving teaching. The staff in the research (122 staff members in total) received 6 hours of education, in how to prevent physical coercive interventions and even this intervention was enough to show positive results. However, the research reminds that many factors influence the change in staff attitudes in “the real world”, as the culture they come from, and return to after the education, the quality of planning the education, the qualifications of the teacher, etc. Still, it is definitely worth trying.
