Abstract

This study provides information and suggest a direction for the future research needs of medical attire as a high value-added industry. A total of 69 studies on medical attire were categorized and analyzed for the study subject, study method, and study locations. As per the time period, until the mid-80s, almost no research on medical attire was conducted; however, the number has increased as of late. The distribution by subject was in the order of status investigation, design development, material research, textile design, and sizing system, and especially there was significant focus on wearing status and design development that has rapidly increased over the last 10 years. The distribution by target was in the order of adult patients, elderly patients, doctors, nurses, and juvenile patients. There are many studies on the wearing status and design development of adult patient attire as well as on the textile design and sizing system study for doctor's attire. The distribution by study method was in the order of survey and interview, research and development, dressing evaluation, real resources analysis, and physical property experiments. Through the results of the analysis on the study subject and target, it was found that the wearing status investigation for adult patient attire through a survey and interview was most active. The distribution by study location was in the order of Seoul, Incheon - Gyeonggi, Busan - Ulsan - Gyeongnam, and suggested that a study on patient attire in Dajeon - Chungcheong and Jeonbuk was inadequate.
