We conducted a prospective study of discharged emergency department (ED) patients to determine the effect of wearing a necktie by emergency physicians (EPs) had on patients' impression of their medical care. All male EPs were assigned randomly by dates to wear a necktie or no necktie, and the attire worn was otherwise similar in all respects. The study was conducted at a community teaching hospital with an Emergency Medicine residency and an annual census of 40,000. A total of 316 patients were surveyed. There were no statistically significant differences between patient groups in any of the five areas surveyed, including patient perception of physicians' appearance. Nearly 30% of patients incorrectly identified their doctor as wearing a necktie when no necktie was worn, and the perception of tie wearing was correlated with a positive impression of physician appearance. Wearing or not wearing a necktie did not significantly affect patients' impression of their physician or the care they received. However, patients seemingly preferred the appearance of physicians who were perceived to wear neckties.
我们对急诊科出院患者进行了一项前瞻性研究，以确定急诊医生系领带对患者医疗护理印象的影响。所有男性急诊医生按日期随机分配系领带或不系领带，且在其他所有方面着装相似。该研究在一家社区教学医院进行，该医院设有急诊医学住院医师项目，年接诊量为4万。共对316名患者进行了调查。在调查的五个领域中，包括患者对医生外表的看法，患者组之间没有统计学上的显著差异。近30%的患者在医生未系领带时错误地认为他们的医生系了领带，而对系领带的认知与对医生外表的良好印象相关。系领带与否并未显著影响患者对其医生或所接受护理的印象。然而，患者似乎更喜欢被认为系领带的医生的外表。
