Hei,

TVANGSFORSK informerer om WHO’s QualityRights Initiative: Transforming Services and Promoting Rights in Mental Health på sine sider: https://www.tvangsforskning.no/aktuelt/reduksjon-av-tvang/ogsa-internasjonalt-er-det-stort-oppmerksomhet-omkring-a-redusere-bruk-av-tvang-innen-psykisk-helsevern/

World Psychiatric Association som Npf er medlem av ser CRPD menneskerettighetene og foreslår alternativer til tvang med bedre omsorg og behandling og fokus på recovery:

• «Of central concern is the protection of human rights, and the extent to which coercive interventions violate these. These include rights to: liberty; autonomy; freedom from torture, inhuman or degrading treatment; physical and psychological integrity of the person; non-discrimination; and a home and family life. These rights have been set out most recently in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006) as they apply specifically to people with disabilities, including those with psychosocial disabilities. World Psychiatric Association (WPA) Position Statement and Call to Action: Implementing Alternatives to Coercion: A Key Component of Improving Mental Health Care. https://www.wpanet.org/alternatives-to-coercion

Practices that constitute coercion include:

• Formal detention restricting the ability of an individual to leave a facility

• Treatment without consent (or ‘compulsory treatment’), any form of treatment including the use of psychotropic medication

• Seclusion locking or confining a person to a space or room alone

• Restraint actions aimed at controlling a person’s physical movement, including prolonged or unsafe holding by other person(s), the use of any physical devices (‘mechanical restraint’,chaining etc) and the use of psychotropic drugs for the primary purpose of controlling movement (‘chemical restraint’). Note: chemical restraint does NOT include the judicious use of medication prescribed for treatment purposes.

Reduksjon av tvang ønskes oppnådd med hjelp av alternativer:

• «The use of coercive practices, such as those listed above, carries the risk of harmful consequences, including trauma» World Psychiatric Association (WPA) Position Statement and Call to Action: Implementing Alternatives to Coercion: A Key Component of Improving Mental Health Care https://3ba346de-fde6-473f-b1da-536498661f9c.filesusr.com/ugd/e172f3_635a89af889c471683c29fcd981db0aa.pdf

• alternatives to coercion (such as ‘Safewards’, ‘Six Core Strategies’, ‘open door policies’, and the WHO Quality Rights Initiative),

[Npfs strategi om reduksjon av tvang trenger et kunnskapsløft for å nå opp til et akseptabelt etisk nivå i pratisk respekt av menneskerettighetene og traumaforebugging.]

Mvh
