TL;DR: A realist review method was chosen and an operational definition of chemical restraint is proposed, a concept seen as synonymous with the management of behavioral symptoms by pharmacological agents with sedative proprieties for the use of CR in health care settings.
Abstract: Background The use of chemical restraints (CRs) in health care facilities is a complex intervention that raises questions about its effectiveness and whether it is safe and patient oriented. Purpose This review aims to gather nursing quality standards for the use of CR through an innovative method of knowledge synthesis, the realist review, to support the development of a quality evaluation tool. Methods A realist review method was chosen. Results An operational definition of chemical restraint is proposed, a concept seen as synonymous with the management of behavioral symptoms by pharmacological agents with sedative proprieties. Twenty-eight quality standards were identified and presented in a theoretical model. Conclusions These quality standards will allow the evaluation of practices from a nursing perspective for the use of CR in health care settings.
