Previous studies have investigated the role of clinical attire in establishing patient-held perceptions of professionalism and knowledgeability across various healthcare settings. This study aimed to understand patients' preferences for chiropractic student attire.
Three hundred and twenty patients were recruited from a university chiropractic clinic and asked to complete an online questionnaire. The patients' preferences for five different attires were rated and calculated as the composite score of five domains (knowledgeable, trustworthy, caring, professional, and comfortable).
While 71.9% of participants indicated that how students dress was important to them, most (63.4%) disagreed that wearing a white coat was essential for chiropractic student clinicians. The most preferred form of attire was the current clinic shirt.
The attire worn by chiropractic student clinicians at a single institution was found to be an influential attribute. Student chiropractic clinicians should dress professionally to make a good first impression. This study provided some guidance with the ongoing debate around students' dress code.
以往研究调查了临床着装在不同医疗环境中建立患者对专业性和知识水平认知方面的作用。本研究旨在了解患者对脊椎按摩疗法专业学生着装的偏好。
从一所大学的脊椎按摩疗法诊所招募了320名患者，并要求他们完成一份在线问卷。对患者对五种不同着装的偏好进行评分，并计算为五个领域（知识渊博、值得信赖、关怀、专业和舒适）的综合得分。
虽然71.9%的参与者表示学生的穿着方式对他们很重要，但大多数人（63.4%）不同意穿白大褂对脊椎按摩疗法专业学生临床医生至关重要。最受欢迎的着装形式是当前的诊所衬衫。
在单一机构中，脊椎按摩疗法专业学生临床医生的着装被发现是一个有影响力的因素。脊椎按摩疗法专业学生临床医生应穿着专业，以留下良好的第一印象。这项研究为围绕学生着装规范的持续辩论提供了一些指导。
