The authors sought to investigate patient preferences on physician and medical student attire in the outpatient otolaryngology setting.
A prospective sample of 50 (23 males, 27 females) patients presenting to an otolaryngology clinic in a North American teaching hospital, Boston, MA, were included. Patients were seen by a researcher wearing a white coat and either (1) a shirt and tie or (2) surgical scrubs, then completed a Likert-style survey evaluating feelings of trust, comfort, and professionalism. Statistical significance was set at α = 0.05.
Most patients (82%, 41/50) believed that attire was important. Men and older patients were significantly more likely to believe attire was important ( = .01 and .005, respectively). Patients were significantly more comfortable when seen by a provider wearing a shirt and tie compared to scrubs ( = 109.5, = .021); however, there was no difference in feelings of trust or professionalism ( = .5* and .6*, respectively).
Physician attire is important for patients presenting to otolaryngology clinic. Patients favored a white coat with a shirt and tie. Level of Evidence: NA.
作者试图调查患者对门诊耳鼻喉科环境中医师和医学生着装的偏好。
纳入了在马萨诸塞州波士顿一家北美教学医院的耳鼻喉科诊所就诊的50名患者（23名男性，27名女性）的前瞻性样本。患者由一名穿着白大褂且要么穿着衬衫打着领带要么穿着手术服的研究人员接待，然后完成一份李克特式调查问卷，评估信任、舒适和专业程度的感受。统计学显著性设定为α = 0.05。
大多数患者（82%，41/50）认为着装很重要。男性和老年患者更有可能认为着装很重要（分别为P = 0.01和P = 0.005）。与穿着手术服相比，患者在由穿着衬衫打着领带的医护人员接待时明显更舒适（χ² = 109.5，P = 0.021）；然而，在信任或专业程度的感受上没有差异（分别为P = 0.5和P = 0.6）。
对于前往耳鼻喉科诊所的患者来说，医师着装很重要。患者更喜欢穿着白大褂并打着领带。证据级别：无。
