Among them, 102 patients from January 2022 to May 2025 were assigned to the observation group, and 104 patients during the same period served as the control group. In practice, the control group received conventional body restraint, while the observation group adopted the reduction program. The incidence of unplanned extubation and restraint-related complications were compared between the two groups. Results: The body restraint rate and complication rate in the observation group were significantly lower (P < 0.05). After nurse training, their knowledge mastery and operational ability were significantly higher than before training (P < 0.01). Conclusion: The body restraint reduction program for severe neurological patients can effectively reduce the restraint rate and complication incidence, while helping improve nurses’ restraint management capabilities, serving as an effective means to enhance overall nursing quality.
