Özet
Restraint use in the pediatric setting has been a common component of nursing practice. The most common reasons for using restraints are to promote safety and to proactively prevent hypothetical unwanted sequelae of treatment. There are different meanings for the term "restraint".

Decisions to place children in restraints and initiating alternatives to restraint use require interdisciplinary approach.
