Introduction: Over the years, nurses have been considered models of care and neatness, dressed in a stiff white uniform. Recently, nursing staff have been choosing uniforms due to the variety of colours and comfort of wearing. Various forms of body decoration are also becoming popular among this professional group. Aim of the study was assessment of patients' perception of non-standard appearance of nursing staff. Material and methods: The study was conducted using the diagnostic survey method using a questionnaire. The study material was collected between March and June 2022. The survey questionnaire consisted of 5 closed and semi-open questions and 5 specific questions. A total of 1267 patients completed the survey questionnaires, and 1109 correctly completed survey questionnaires were analysed. Each respondent gave informed consent to conduct the study. All results are statistically significant when p ≤ 0.05. Results: Most patients were not bothered by nursing staff having tattoos in a visible place (64.8%). Piercing in specific places of the body by nurses was accepted by 55.8% of respondents. One third (33.8%) of respondents were against nursing staff having non-standard hair colours. Most of the respondents believed that nursing staff should be able to wear medical clothing in any colour of their choice (81%). Conclusions: The attitude of patients towards visible body modifications used by nursing staff is individual. Older people, men, and rural residents are less likely to accept the use of forms of body decoration among nursing staff compared to younger people, women, and urban residents.

Nurses often encounter negative emotions such as fatigue, boredom, anxiety and fear in the course of their nursing duties, and one of the efficient approaches to improve their emotions is to wear the proper nursing scrubs during their tasks. This paper presents a work with the overall objective to have an emotionally tailored apparel design of nursing scrubs. To reach this objective, the study first mines Kansei words to recognize nurses’ emotions in nursing scrubs domain. Then, design attributes and their corresponding attribute levels for nursing scrubs are identified and determined by applying the rank sum ratio method. Furthermore, a model mapping nurses’ emotions to design attributes of nursing scrubs is established by employing the entropy-weight technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution approach. The study yields two significant contributions: (a) presenting the first ever emotion recognition for nurses, which provides a domain-specific foundation for investigating nurses’ psychological wellbeing; (b) constructing a model to conduct the emotional apparel design of female nursing scrubs, which offers a guide to improve preferred and satisfied female nursing scrubs for nurses, and thus positive emotions will be experienced during their nursing duties.
