Resumen

Las medidas coercitivas en salud mental implican un significante sufrimiento para pacientes, familiares y profesionales. Generan mucho debate ético sobre su legitimidad y/o su rechazo. Estos desafíos éticos para Enfermería han parcialmente delimitados. Los aspectos teóricos, filosóficos y éticos que se derivan de su uso han sido objeto de estudio por parte de Enfermería, aunque han sido analizados superficialmente. Este artículo arroja luz sobre esa laguna y explica los conceptos “vulnerabilidad”, “mejor interés”, y “competencia”. Además, se exponen algunas teorías éticas para fundamentar la relación asistencial. Por último, se presentan algunos estudios empíricos sobre la percepción de los afectados por estas prácticas coercitivas.
