摘要

目的:本研究的目的是确定医生着装在激发患者信心方面的重要性,患者的偏好以及影响医生着装印象的因素。方法:于2012年4月- 10月在日本5家药店向患者或其护理人员(年龄≥20岁)发放并填写自填问卷。调查在每家药房连续进行2天。为了估计患者对医生的信心,问题涉及六个项目,即医生的着装、说话方式(说话方式、音量、语气等)、年龄、性别、头衔(教授、博士等)和声誉。研究人员向参与者展示了五种不同类型的男女医生服装的照片(即白大褂、手术服、半正式服装、休闲服装和休闲装),并要求他们用李克特五分制对每种服装风格的合适性进行评分。结果:在1411名到药房就诊的患者或护理人员中,530人回复了问卷,其中491人回复完整,用于后续分析。受访者的平均年龄为51.9岁,男性占40.3%。在决定对医生的信心方面,言语是最重要的因素(平均得分为4.60),其次是声誉(4.06)和着装(4.00)。在着装方面,无论医生的性别如何,白大褂被认为是最合适的着装风格,其次是外科手术服。只有年龄、性别和地区对擦洗的偏好有显著影响(P 65岁的人认为擦洗与20-34岁的人相比是不合适的(调整后的优势比,男医生为4.30和12.7,女医生为3.66和6.91)。结论:着装是激发患者对医生信心的重要因素之一。白大褂被认为是医生最合适的着装风格,其次是手术服。然而,年长的参与者认为,与年轻的参与者相比,手术服是不合适的着装。

Importance of physicians' attire: factors influencing the impression it makes on patients, a cross-sectional study.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the importance of physician attire in inspiring confidence in patients, patient preferences and factors influencing the impression made by the clothing worn by doctors.

Methods: Self-administered questionnaires were distributed and completed in five pharmacies across Japan (April-October 2012) to patients or their carers (aged ≥20 years). The survey was performed over 2 consecutive days in each pharmacy. To estimate patient confidence in doctors, questions were asked addressing six items, namely doctors' attire, speech (way of speaking, volume, tone etc.), age, gender, title (professor, PhD etc.) and reputation. Participants were shown photographs of five different types of attire for male and female doctors (i.e. white coats, scrubs, semiformal, smart casual and casual wear) and asked to rate the appropriateness of each clothing style using a five-point Likert scale.

Results: Of the 1411 patients or carers who attended the pharmacies, 530 responded to the questionnaire, with 491 complete responses used in subsequent analyses. The mean age of respondents was 51.9 years and 40.3% were male. Speech was the most important factor (mean score 4.60) in determining confidence in doctors, followed by reputation (4.06) and attire (4.00). With regard to attire, regardless of a doctor's gender, the white coat was judged to be the most appropriate style of dress, followed by surgical scrubs. Only the preference for scrubs was significantly affected by age, gender and region (P < 0.05). Using binomial logistic regression analysis, we evaluated the effects of age on the appropriateness (Likert score 3-5) versus inappropriateness (score 1-2) of scrubs. There was a significant increase in the number of subjects aged 50-64 and >65 years of age who thought scrubs were inappropriate compared with those aged 20-34 years (adjusted odds ratios of 4.30 and 12.7 for male doctors, and 3.66 and 6.91 for female doctors).

Conclusions: Attire is one of the important factor that inspires patient confidence in physicians. White coats were deemed the most appropriate clothing style for doctors, followed by scrubs. However, older participants perceived scrubs to be less appropriate attire than younger subjects.
