Involuntary care - capturing the experience of people with dementia in nursing homes. A concept mapping study.

Objective: To avoid restraints and involuntary care caregivers should be aware if and how a patient resists care.

Method: Concept mapping was used, following five steps: (1) brainstorming, (2) rating, (3) sorting, (4) statistical analysis & visual representation and (5) interpretation.
