| Sumario: | <p><b>OBJECTIVE:</b> To describe the perception of a multidisciplinary team on the use of physical restraint in older adults.<br> <b>METHODS:</b> Qualitative research conducted with 58 health professionals in two long term care facilities for older adults located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Semi-structured interviews were further analyzed using thematic content analysis. The data was collected from November 2017 to June 2018.<br> <b>RESULTS:</b> Twenty-one initial codes were identified and organized in three categories: team perception of the consequences and risks of a physical restraint (the patient’s safety paradox); implications of the decision of physical restraint of the older adults; and strategies to restrain and not restrain.<br> <b>CONCLUSIONS:</b> The results reinforce the need for training of professionals on restraint-free alternatives of care, as part promoting a culture of care that respects the right to freedom and the dignity of people — especially the most vulnerable ones.</p> |
