Abstract

The factors associated with use of Section 5(4) of the UK Mental Health Act (MHA) 1983 that allows nurses of the 'prescribed class' to legally prevent an informal inpatient who is receiving treatment for mental disorder from leaving the hospitals are studied. The study found that the doctor's opinion concurs closely with the nurse's decision to detain a mental patient on such grounds.
