van de Sande R, et al. - In this study, researchers explore the relationship between the scores of three structured observation tools - the Kennedy Axis V (K-Axis-V), the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), and the Social Dysfunction and Aggression Scale (SDAS) - and seclusion. The outcomes of the current study recommend that the incorporation of the Kennedy-Axis V, the BPRS, and the SDAS into standard practice could be useful in identifying patients at high risk of seclusion, and could be supportive to treatment planning and clinical decision-making in the prevention of seclusion use in acute psychiatric settings.
