The success story of nurses who have declared to fight against bad care practices,

creating innovative care models in hospitals and nursing homes

hysical, mechanical and pharmacological restraint is a care procedure widely used throughout the world both in long-term

institutions and in hospitals.

A bad practice that contrasts with the numerous scientific evidences that highlight its extreme danger and complications for

people in fragile conditions.

For many years now, a team of nurses from the city of Trieste has wanted to oppose this phenomenon, managing to declare Trieste

as a "City Free from Restraint" in 2013.

Based on the heritage and ethics of the psychiatrist Franco Basaglia who freed psychiatric patients from mental institutions,

the team of nurses from Trieste broke a cultural taboo and succeeded in proposing innovative nursing models. These models

have had success in the reality of the territory, succeeding over a few years to reduce to the point of eliminating even in hospital

contexts the use of Restraint as a practice with the help of volunteers. The models of health care in Trieste have restored dignity

to frail people by developing models of responsibility, attention and respect. This new welfare culture expresses a proactive

nursing model and guarantees everyone's rights. The duration in time of the care experience both in the public and private contest

has allowed to consolidate and build, techniques, environments, innovative and creative procedures to eradicate a wrong culture

in the health field but specially to create a care culture guaranteeing rights and freedom. In fact, the Restraint violates the rights

of every constitution, fundamental human rights and ethical ethics, it provokes physical, mental and psychological damages to

the person, causes the loss of functions to the sick and frail patients, lengthens the stays and nullifies the effects of cures, as

demonstrated by numerous evidences.

Eliminating the Restraint in assistance, is an ethical, juridical, deontological, scientific and common-sense commitment that

every nurse should consider in his/her care path.
