This study examined the impact of nursing pants uniform color and style on perceptions of professionalism. Pediatric patients 7 to 17 years of age and their adult visitors were surveyed at two midwestern health care centers. Participants viewed eight photographs of the same RN in different uniforms. Adult participants rated each photograph for 10 image traits using a modified nurse image scale (MNIS). Pediatric participants rated each photograph for five image traits using the nurse image scale for children (NISC). Pediatric participant median sum scores for the eight uniforms were similar, despite clear preferences for boldly printed top and pressed blue or white-pant uniforms (22% each). Adult participant median sum scores were similar for six of the eight uniforms, but two had significantly lower scores (p < 0.001). Pediatric patients' and visitors' uniform preferences are not related to perceptions of professionalism.
本研究考察了护士裤装的颜色和款式对专业形象认知的影响。在中西部的两家医疗中心对7至17岁的儿科患者及其成年访客进行了调查。参与者观看了同一名注册护士穿着不同制服的八张照片。成年参与者使用改良的护士形象量表（MNIS）对每张照片的10个形象特征进行评分。儿科参与者使用儿童护士形象量表（NISC）对每张照片的5个形象特征进行评分。尽管明显偏好印有醒目图案的上衣和熨烫过的蓝色或白色裤子制服（各占22%），但八套制服的儿科参与者中位数总分相似。八套制服中有六套的成年参与者中位数总分相似，但有两套得分显著较低（p<0.001）。儿科患者及其访客的制服偏好与专业形象认知无关。
