Abstract
A 12-item instrument was designed to quantify the views of 62 nurses on how the wearing of nurses' uniforms vs street attire might affect their performance of routine nursing duties, effectiveness of their therapeutic efforts, their role concepts, and interpersonal involvement with patients. Factor analysis indicated that the instrument had high internal reliability and unifactor content. Suggestions were offered for the instrument's utility as a research tool and as an aid in selection of nursing personnel in applied settings where attire worn is considered an important environmental factor or where the attitudes of nursing staff may have bearing on treatment and response to treatment of selected populations.
