To document the performance of patients regarding label styles of their doctors and modes of addressing them.
In this descriptive survey, 400 patients, at two teaching hospitals--Hajar and Kashani--with a mean age of 40.5 +/- 19.5 years were enrolled. Their demographic data, disorder type and duration were recorded. Photos demonstrating different label and attire styles based on Iranian culture were shown to the patients and they were asked to mark their performances about the necessity of wearing name badge. They were also requested to nominate the way they preferred to be addressed by the doctors.
Of the participants, 180 (45%) were men; 307 (76.8%) were married; and the mean duration of hospitalisation was 2.5 +/- 2.1 days. Most of the patients, (n = 320; 80%) stated that the doctor should always wear a name badge; 301 (75.3%) preferred to call their physicians by title; and 227 (56.8%) preferred to be called by their surnames. Patients preferred to have female physicians wearing white coat, shirt and trousers as the preferred dress code.
Patients in the study preferred to have the physicians professionally attired, with the only difference being the dark veil for female physicians. Name badge and white coat were also preferred by the patients.
记录患者对医生佩戴的名牌样式及称呼方式的看法。
在这项描述性调查中，纳入了哈贾尔和卡沙尼两家教学医院的400名患者，他们的平均年龄为40.5±19.5岁。记录了他们的人口统计学数据、疾病类型和病程。向患者展示了基于伊朗文化的展示不同名牌和着装样式的照片，并要求他们就佩戴名牌的必要性标记自己的看法。还要求他们指出希望医生以何种方式称呼自己。
参与者中，180人（45%）为男性；307人（76.8%）已婚；平均住院时间为2.5±2.1天。大多数患者（n = 320；80%）表示医生应始终佩戴名牌；301人（75.3%）更喜欢称呼医生的头衔；227人（56.8%）更喜欢别人称呼自己的姓氏。患者更喜欢女医生穿着白大褂、衬衫和裤子作为首选着装规范。
研究中的患者更喜欢医生着装专业，唯一的区别是女医生要戴深色面纱。患者也更喜欢名牌和白大褂。
