Abstract |
Aim |
To compare the clinical management of typical scenarios by using three case vignettes in a substantial number of European countries.
Method |
Three case vignettes and an associated questionnaire, filled in and finalised by at least two experts from each country.
Results |
Legislation and clinical practice varies widely across the 16 included countries. No specific pattern emerged. Certain practices (intravenous medication, mechanical restraint, net beds and forensic transfers, respectively) only exist in few countries. Legislation for involuntary medication is most restrictive in the Netherlands.
Conclusions |
There is little harmonisation and a lack of consistent standards within and across European countries regarding treatment and management of violent patients.
