Background: Persons treated during compulsive care are in a vulnerable situation. Caring for someone against their will involves great responsibility and places high demands on the staff's psychiatric skills, empathy and ability to interpersonal relationships. Many people who have been treated under compulsive psychiatric care are critical to the health care content and its execution. Aim: The aim of the studie was to describe people's experiences of compulsive care in Swedish psychiatric hospital care. Method: A qualitative study of 15 blogs with inductive approach and descriptive design was chosen. The material from the blogs has been analyzed with inspiration from content analysis. Results: The result was subdivided into three categories; A care process characterized by powerlessness, fear and ambivalence, Interaction and participation on the terms of care and Meaningful environmental factors. Conclusion: The result described both positive and negative experiences from compulsive care. The care process was often described as difficult to handle and included a great powerlessness. There was a great dissatisfaction regarding communication, information and personal treatment. The conclusion is that if persons are informed of what the compulsive care will entail and what is expected of them, the chances are higher that they will feel respected and that their wellbeing generally improves during the care period. If the person's autonomy is considered, the experience of an unequal power relationship in healthcare and in the meeting with healthcare professionals changes.
