These measures, including seclusion and restraint, raise ethical concerns despite their intent to ensure safety, particularly during acute stages marked by violent behaviour. Addressing this backdrop, the significance of post-incident debriefing as an intervention to curtail the use and duration of coercive measures and alleviate the negative psychological effects of using these methods in managing individuals with schizophrenia is underscored. The employment of coercive measures, such as physical restraint and seclusion, to manage aggressive behaviour in psychiatric settings necessitates a thorough examination of their ethical implications and potential psychological harm. Although post-incident debriefing is recommended, the limited evidence supporting its efficacy and concerns about its impact on psychological well-being prompt a comprehensive analysis of existing literature.</p><p><strong>Objectives: </strong>To investigate the effects of post-incident debriefing after coercive measures for people with schizophrenia or schizophrenia-type psychosis.</p><p><strong>Search methods: </strong>The Information Specialist conducted searches of the Cochrane Schizophrenia Specialised Register (compiled from searches of CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO ICTRP, ISRCTN, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses A&I) on 28 February 2023.
