  1. Promoting a Nonviolent Health CareModule 2

  2. Crisis • Definition- All patients and visitors are in some type of perceived crisis when seeking medical attention.

  3. Pre-Escalation • Goal is to manipulate the environment to make it as inviting as possible and eliminate potential triggers

  4. Strategy • Staff need to identify an early pre-escalation strategy. • Strategy can be introduced at earliest warning sign or even suggested on initial assessment • Strategy is a calming mechanism to manage and minimize stress and to prevent a perceived crisis from escalating

  5. Examples of Strategy • Stress balls in a basket • Coloring activities • Stretching • Deep breathing • Music • Reading materials • Massage chair • Rubber band on wrist • Prayer books • Run hands under cold or warm water • Blankets • Note cards • Aromatherapy • Games • Progressive muscle relaxation • Snacks on hand

  6. Triggers • A trigger is something that sets off a reaction. It could be anything that the patient associates with negative thoughts or feelings. • Examples include: • Loud voice • Excessive hand motions • People too close or attempting to touch • Bedtime • Men • Not being listened to • Lack of privacy • Room checks

  7. Early Warning Signs • Early warning signs may be difficult to assess in a high stress/traffic area. Initial assessment is a key so a change from baseline behavior is recognized. • Restlessness • Agitation • Pacing • Shortness of breath • Sensing a tightness in the chest • Sweating • Becoming mute and dissociative

  8. Examples of Early Warning Signs • Restlessness • Agitation • Pacing • Shortness of breath • Sensing a tightness in the chest • Sweating • Becoming mute and dissociative • Breathing hard • Rocking • Clenching teeth • Wringing hands • Bouncing legs • Shaking • Crying • Giggling • Heart pounding • Singing • Excessive eating • Swearing

  9. De-Escalation • Person is already in crisis mode and starting to escalate. • In phase one or two of crisis cycle • Recognize possible transference and counter- transference interactions

  10. De-Escalation Strategies • Does initial Nursing assessment include a de-escalation assessment? • Is it possible to designate an area to address sensory needs? If not, what about a comfort box? • 75% reduction in restraints/seclusion over 2 year period after introduction of sensory sessions in a MA hospital

  11. What Makes you Feel Upset? • Circle all that make you feel sad, mad, scared or other Time of year Dark/night Being touched Time of day Crowds Loud noises Yelling/shouting Storms

  12. How do I know I am Angry, Scared or Upset? Cry Clench Teeth Flush, hot face Loud Voice Clench fists Rocking/withdraw/preoccupy Pace/hyper Heart Pounding Breath hard

  13. HALT • Easy acronym to employ in your training: • H- Hungry? • A- Angry? • L- Lonely? • T- Tired? Thirsty?

  14. Case Studies • Review case studies and discuss

  15. Joint Commission and CMS Standards • Comparing Joint Commission Restraint Standards and CMS Standards document • Common themes between hospital not deemed, deemed, behavioral health, and CMS guidelines. • Philosophy and definition • Appropriate staffing • Physician/LIP order • Monitoring and assessing the patient • Documentation • Staff training

  16. Definition of Restraint • Restraint= Any manual method, physical or mechanical device, material or equipment that immobilizes or reduces the ability of a patient to move his/her arms, legs, body, or head freely • A drug or medication when it is used as a restriction to manage the patient’s behavior or restrict the patient’s freedom of movement and is not a standard treatment or dosage for the patient’s condition. • A restraint does not include devices, such as orthopedically prescribed devices, surgical dressings or bandages, protective helmets or other methods that involve the physical holding of a patient for the purpose of conducting routine physical exam or tests, or to protect the patient from falling out of bed or to permit the patient to participate in activities w/out the risk of physical harm (this does not include a physical escort)

  17. Definition of Seclusion • Seclusion= the involuntary confinement of a patient alone in a room or area from which the patient is physically prevented from leaving. Seclusion may only be used for the management of violent or self-destructive behavior.

  18. Philosophy Vs. Practice • Organization must develop a philosophy related to the use of seclusion and restraint • Must ensure that practice supports philosophy

  19. Other things to Include • Trauma Informed Care • Debriefing
