Accessible summary Patients in acute psychiatric care perceive compulsory treatment as good if they are given good care, if they are given the shelter they need and if they are given help with understanding what is happening. They feel respected if they are allowed to retain their autonomy and are invited to participate, even though they are in compulsory treatment. It is important to take advantage of patients' own resources to prevent their traumatization when receiving compulsory treatment. Preparation of individual action plans for future compulsory treatment may empower patients during compulsory treatment and improve their experience of care.
