Background: The second in a two-part series, this article focuses on experiences with restraint intervention for challenging behaviour among people with intellectual disabilities. Methods: A mixed methods research synthesis involving statistical meta-analysis and qualitative meta-synthesis techniques was applied to synthesize 76 retrieved articles. This second article reports on the qualitative meta-synthesis of 17 articles on experiences with restraint intervention for challenging behaviour among people with intellectual disabilities. Results: The 17 included articles report on important variables relating to the persons receiving restraint intervention, to the persons giving restraint intervention and to their interactions and relationship, as well as variables situated at the meso- and macro-level. Conclusions: The developed model can assist in reflecting on and improving of current restraint intervention practices among people with intellectual disabilities. (Edited publisher abstract)

Background: This article, the first in a two-part series, focuses on the effectiveness of restraint interventions (RIs) for reducing challenging behaviour (CB) among persons with intellectual disabilities. The second article focuses on experiences with RIs for CB among people with intellectual disabilities. Methods: A mixed-methods research synthesis involving statistical meta-analysis and qualitative meta-synthesis techniques was applied to synthesize 76 retrieved articles. This first article reports on the meta-analysis of 59 single-case experiments on effectiveness of RIs for CB among people with intellectual disabilities. Results and Conclusions: The RIs reported on in the single-case experiments were on average highly effective in reducing CB for people with intellectual disabilities, and this reduction in CB was statistically significant. However, the effects vary significantly over the included participants, and the published data and reported outcomes are rather unrepresentative of the everyday use of RIs among persons with intellectual disabilities.
