Methods: Q-methodology, an approach designed to discover patterns in various subjective experiences,was used. Twenty-two participants classified 36 selected Q-statements on a nine-point scale to create a normal distribution. The collected data were analyzed using the PC Quanl Program. Results: Five types of physical restraint experience in mentally ill persons were identified by the participants. Type I Emotional reaction-explosive anger, Type II Emotional reaction-internalized anger, Type III Rational reaction-rejection, Type IV Rational reactionacceptance,Type V Rational reaction-trust. Conclusion: The results of this study provide an understanding that different types of reactions to physical restraint experience exist and that each type has certain characteristics,which suggest a need to develop interventions specifically designed for each type of physical restraint experience.
