The Effects of Psychiatric Nurses Ceasing to Wear Uniform
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
In many psychiatric units nurses now wear ordinary clothes instead of uniforms. The rationale underlying such changes has usually been that uniforms inappropriately emphasize the medical role of the nurse in physical treatment and interfere with her therapeutic role. The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of such a change on the attitudes of both nurses and patients.
