Policy
The policy was communicated via an information letter and shortly presented during the first workshop. The key message included:
  • Discouragement of the use of involuntary treatment
  • Underscoring the importance of person‐centred care and individualised alternatives
Workshops

Three 2.5‐h workshops each with own theme(s):

Workshop 1: Increasing knowledge & awareness

Workshop 2: Conducting a problem analysis & communicating with stakeholders

Workshop 3: Regulations and stakeholders regarding the ‘Care and Coercion’ legislation, registration of involuntary treatment in client records and alternative interventions

Two practical assignments in‐between the workshops: Case studies to practice the skills they gained during the workshops in home care practice. The case studies were discussed during workshop 2 and 3

Coaching and consultation

Coaching: The specialised nurse was available for coaching if participants needed advice and visited multiple home care team meetings to assist professional caregivers in preventing/reducing involuntary treatment use

Consultation: Workshop 2 and 3 started with a 30‐min discussion on case studies (practical assignments) led by the specialised nurse
