Excerpt

This aim of the study was to explore the in-patient experiences of two different groups of black service users, one in London and one in Bristol, in relation to the short-term management of disturbed/violent behaviour. Further information on black service users' treatment within psychiatric in-patient settings in relation to the short-term management of violence was sought from a countrywide group of health care professionals and experts with a special interest in this area. The objectives of the study were: 1) to describe black service users' experiences of the short-term management of disturbed/violent behaviour in psychiatric in-patient; 2) to describe the experiences and views of health care professionals with experience of working with black service users, in relation to the short-term management of disturbed/violent behaviour in psychiatric in-patient settings; and 3) to draw up recommendations to improve psychiatric in-patient services.
