Abstract

Introduction: Worldwide, there is an increased use of coercion in psychiatry, particularly through involuntary hospitalization or treatment. Like many other Canadian provinces, Quebec is no exception. However, the therapeutic outcomes of these measures are questioned when compared to voluntary care. Given the infringement of human rights and freedoms, coercion in psychiatry has been contested by many organizations, including the World Health Organization (2021). Human rights-based practices have been recognized as an important nursing role in Quebec. However, these practices are often informal and poorly documented in scientific literature.


Objective: This article presents the research protocol of an interpretative phenomenological study that aims to understand the lived experiences of coercion and human rights-based practices in psychiatry from the perspectives of people living with mental health problems.


Methods: This qualitative study uses an interpretative phenomenological analysis design developed by Smith et al. (2009). In depth, one-on-one interviews along with socio-demographic questionnaire will be conducted with approximately 10 participants. Data analysis will follow an iterative and hermeneutic emergence coding process.


Discussion and conclusion: By centering human rights-based practices to the lived experiences of people living with mental health problems who encountered coercion, this study will highlight contributing and limiting factors to the recognition of human rights in nursing practices. This study will also promote the development of nursing knowledge and practices that can significantly contribute to individuals’ recovery process.
