In all, 182 restrained patients were analyzed and most were male, elementary school graduates, married, and living with first-degree relatives. There were no correlations between these variables, and the of restraints used and the duration of their use. Mean age of the females (36.27 years) was higher than that of males (32.46 years), the difference was significant. In all, 66.6% of restraint use was because of violent behavior or probability of violent behavior. The rate of restraint use was lower during day shifts (43.82%). Patients on adult were not different in terms of diagnosis, BPRS score, rate of violent behavior, and reasons for using restraint, but markedly different in terms of the number of restraints used and the duration of restraint.
