Design And Methods: An explorative-descriptive qualitative design with video vignettes, semistructured interviews, and abductive content analysis.

Findings: Many reasons for different kinds of patient behavior that were considered challenging by staff were identified. Delivering care based on patients' needs was identified as core staff competence.

Practice Implications: Findings can be utilized when pursuing restraint reduction in psychiatric care by enhancing staff competence.
