Abstract

This article examines the evidence on the effect of bedrails on falls and injury, based on a recent systematic literature review. It also discusses why so many opinion pieces on bedrails adopt an extremely negative perspective. Patients' opinions on bedrails, ethical considerations and implications for practice are also explored.
