Table 2.

Results of regression analyses investigating the associations between effectiveness and subjective distress (CES), and type of coercive interventions, controlling for demographical and clinical variables (patients who experienced seclusion and mechanical restraint constituted the reference group; only models with at least one significant predictor beyond baseline scores are reported here)

Dependent variables Change scores Effectiveness
Subjective distress : Mean scores Coercion Experience Scale (CES)
SDAS Uncooperative-ness Lack of insight into the illness Total score CES Factor Humiliation Factor Physical adverse effects Factor Separation Factor Negative environment Factor Fear Factor Coercion
