The uniform plays a crucial role in establishing professional identity and recognition. In Iran, the inability to differentiate nurses from other healthcare team members has led to dissatisfaction among both patients and nurses. This research aimed to explore the perspectives of nursing students regarding nursing uniforms in Iran.
This study was conducted as a cross-sectional descriptive study involving 457 nursing students from Isfahan, Iran. The survey was carried out between April and May 2024, utilizing a non-probability sampling method. The data collection instrument included a researcher-developed questionnaire with two sections: demographic information and students' opinions on uniforms. Data analysis was conducted utilizing both descriptive and analytical statistical methods, with the statistical significance threshold set at < 0.05.
According to the results, 70.70% of students in terms of "appearance," 78.10% in terms of "comfort," 68.50% in terms of "a sense of professional identity," 65.20% in terms of "sense of self-confidence," 54.30% in terms of "infection control regulations," and 58.90% in terms of "influence on the nursing image" preferred scrubs to white coats. The factors of age, academic semester, and academic degree were significantly associated with the selection of uniform type (f = 455, t = 2.87, < 0.05).
Nursing students showed a preference for the scrub uniforms over the white coat across various aspects. Furthermore, they emphasized the importance of recognizing the variations in uniform colors across different units, deeming the use of white as unsuitable for all units.
制服在确立职业身份和认可度方面起着至关重要的作用。在伊朗，无法区分护士与其他医疗团队成员导致患者和护士都感到不满。本研究旨在探讨伊朗护理专业学生对护士制服的看法。
本研究为横断面描述性研究，涉及来自伊朗伊斯法罕的457名护理专业学生。调查于2024年4月至5月进行，采用非概率抽样方法。数据收集工具包括一份由研究人员编制的问卷，分为两个部分：人口统计学信息和学生对制服的看法。数据分析采用描述性和分析性统计方法，统计学显著性阈值设定为<0.05。
结果显示，在“外观”方面，70.70%的学生、在“舒适度”方面78.10%的学生、在“职业认同感”方面68.50%的学生、在“自信心”方面65.20%的学生、在“感染控制规定”方面54.30%的学生以及在“对护理形象的影响”方面58.90%的学生更喜欢手术服而非白大褂。年龄、学期和学位因素与制服类型的选择显著相关（f = 455，t = 2.87，<0.05）。
护理专业学生在各个方面都表现出对手术服而非白大褂的偏好。此外，他们强调认识到不同科室制服颜色差异的重要性，认为白色并不适用于所有科室。
