Implication

Observational study shows decreased aggression and restrictive practices in forensic psychiatric patients after hospital relocation, indicating design influence on treatment.

Key Points

Aggression and restrictive practices significantly reduced after relocating forensic psychiatric facilities, improving patient outcomes.
More than half of restrictive practices (from 548 to 246) were eliminated post-relocation, with a p value of < 0.001 indicating strong significance.
Retrospective analysis comparing data two years before and after the relocation focused on aggression and restrictive measures among psychiatric inpatients.
Study findings support the role of improved architectural design in enhancing treatment environments for better patient outcomes.
