An exploratory study investigating the impact of the procedures used to manage substance misuse in a medium secure unit on nursepatienttherapeutic relationships
Document Actions
The role conflict experienced by forensic psychiatric nurses between their therapeutic
responsibilities and their responsibility to operationalise security procedures is well established in the
literature. There has been less investigation into how this role conflict is played out specifically in the
management of inpatient substance misuse in forensic units. The procedures used to manage substance
misuse range from partial strip searching, room searching, canine searching, PAT (or rub‐down)
searching to urine drug screening. A literature review identified no study that has investigated the
impact of these procedures on nurse‐patient therapeutic relationships.
