TY - JOUR AU - Kurata, Sadami AU - Ojima, Toshiyuki PY - 2014 DA - 2014/03/27 TI - Knowledge, perceptions, and experiences of family caregivers and home care providers of physical restraint use with home-dwelling elders: a cross-sectional study in Japan JO - BMC Geriatrics SP - 39 VL - 14 IS - 1 AB - The use of physical restraints by family caregivers with home-dwelling elders has not been extensively studied but it might be widespread. Furthermore, it is also not clear how home care providers who support family caregivers perceive the use of physical restraint in elders’ homes. This study assessed family caregivers’ and home care providers’ knowledge and perceptions of physical restraint used with elders living at home in Japan, a country with the highest proportion of elders in the world and where family caregiving is common.
