SCRUBS COLORS:
The Role of Uniforms in Patient Experience
Besides serving as a system to help people identify healthcare workers, some colour choices are designed to enhance approachability.
Colours such as yellow and pink are seen as less intimidating, encouraging patients to talk more openly and freely with the staff. Calming colours like blue and green can soothe patients, providing comfort and aiding recovery.
Additionally, a consistent uniform policy helps create a secure patient environment. Having verified staff members care for them can alleviate anxiety, especially in emergency or high-stress situations.
