There should be rules to control such usage, and restraints should be used as a last option.
Consent forms have to be filled in by the patient's family. When used, the nurses should monitor the patient periodically. They should be mindful of any physical and psychological suffering.
The Health Ministry could conduct courses to enlighten staff in nursing homes on the consequences of the use of restraints, as well as the alternatives that homes in countries like Japan and the United States use and the benefits of these.
Nursing education must focus on determining risk factors for injury and on how to create a safe environment.
Thanks

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
