There are few controlled studies investigating the effects of nurses changing from uniforms to everyday clothes. A quasi-experimental design was used where patient behaviour was measured before and after such a change and in which some degree of control was achieved by assessing the major sources of bias (i.e. medication, ward practices, etc.). The results suggest that the change in dress led to a decrease in deviant behaviour (particularly violent incidents) and patient estrangement and an increase in the number of nurses in whom patients could confide. These changes in behaviour appeared to be the result of changes in the nature of the relationships/interactions between patients and staff brought about by the change in nurse dress.
很少有对照研究调查护士从穿制服改为穿便服的影响。采用了一种准实验设计，在此设计中，在这种着装变化前后对患者行为进行测量，并通过评估主要偏差来源（即药物治疗、病房操作等）实现了一定程度的控制。结果表明，着装变化导致异常行为（尤其是暴力事件）和患者疏离感减少，患者愿意倾诉的护士人数增加。这些行为变化似乎是护士着装变化所带来的患者与工作人员之间关系/互动性质变化的结果。
