Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences and needs of family caregivers of stroke patients who require physical restraints. The themes and sub-themes that emerged included “the reason for the use of PR†(disruptive behaviors of the patient and personal reasons of caregivers), “the turmoil of having to use PR†(inevitableness, comparing benefits and harms, the emotional effect of PR, and physical effects), and “unmet needs and suggestions†(unmeet needs and suggestions). Nurses should take the experiences of patient relatives into account in the process of PR application, organize training programs, and determine application standards for PR.
