Funded Activity Summary

The study will investigate the policies and practices of seclusion in both traditional nursing and corrections health clinical settings in South Australia; a much under-researched but, nevertheless, important and contentious area. It will compare and contrast the formal policies and guidelines pertaining to seclusion and its place within the therapeutic philosophy of the facility. It will also consider the de facto practices, the physical provisions for seclusion areas and their relationship to the wider ward environment, the ward audit and records of the use of seclusion and related practice. Furthermore, through interviews with direct care staff, it will examine personal and professional reflections on these issues and begin to develop recommendations for best practice. Therefore, by virtue of its clinical and service focus in Nursing and allied health areas, it falls within the criteria for Special Initiative Funding.
