Summary:

The project aims to improve the human rights (HR) situation for people with mental health (MH) problems in inpatient psychiatric facilities (IPF). The objective will be reached by increasing the HR standard and treatment of patients in six participating IPFs by 2024.

Thanks to the project, the frequency of use of restraints will be reduced in the involved IPFs. At the same time, there will be qualitative changes in the setting of rules and regime measures in these facilities. The HR of people with MH problems in these IPFs will be discussed among experts in relation to the tools and means to respect their HR.

The goal will be met at the system level, i.e. by creating a Methodology of recording the restraints and preparing the Final Report on monitoring the impacts of project activities in the participating IPFs, and at the level of education and awareness of employees involved.

Through internships in Norway and training that they will undergo, the management and direct care staff will gain knowledge in the field of prevention of the use of restraints and setting regime measures.
