Patient Preference for Type of Physician Attire
Subjects will complete a one-time survey via paper or iPAD. The survey is based on the Modified Trust in Physician Scale: A Measure to Assess Interpersonal Trust in Patient Physician Relationships with answers provided on a 5 point Likert Scale where 1 means strongly disagree, 2 means disagree, 3 is neutral, 4 means agree and 5 means strongly agree. The total score will reflect patient preference for traditional physician attire (street clothes and white coat) or casual physician attire (surgical scrubs). A high score would reflect a favorable response for the physician wearing traditional attire.
Time frame
At the end of hospitalist rotation or prior to subject discharge, whichever occurs first, not to exceed one week from study enrollment.Sponsors and contacts
