dc.description.abstractBackground Anorexia nervosa is a complex mental disorder that has severe physical and psychological consequences, often requiring hospitalisation, and in the most severe cases, patients receive coercive treatment. Among the various nursing tasks associated with encountering these patients, the administration of nasogastric tube feeding under restraint stands out. It is crucial to recognise and address the unique practical and ethical challenges nurses face when caring for adults struggling with severe anorexia nervosa. The aim of the study was to gain a deeper understanding of registered nurses’ experience of nasogastric tube feeding under restraint in hospitalised patients with severe anorexia nervosa.<p> <p>Methods A naturalistic design guided this study. Narrative interview data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. The participants were twelve registered nurses recruited from an inpatient ward for adult patients with an eating disorder in a Norwegian psychiatric hospital. <p>Results Three main themes were developed: providing good nursing care during coercive treatment; having ethical concerns about nasogastric tube feeding under restraint when the patient reaches a body mass index that is not immediately life-threatening; and having concerns about involving personnel from another ward in the nasogastric tube feeding under restraint procedure. <p>Conclusions Nurses find nasogastric tube feeding under restraint to be part of life-saving nursing for patients with severe anorexia nervosa. It raises ethical concerns, especially with patients with a body mass index that is no longer life-threatening. Our results demonstrate the vulnerability of nurses as well as the difficulties and ethical dilemmas of nursing during nasogastric tube feeding under restraint.en_US
