ABSTRACT
Colors play a fundamental role in our world, imbuing significance into our
perceptions. Thus, the aim of this research was to explore the psychological and
physiological effects of patient clothing colors on individuals in healthcare settings.
The study employed a Systematic Review methodology to examine the impact of
patient clothing colors within healthcare contexts. Sequential steps were taken to
achieve the study's objectives, beginning with formulating the primary research
question, establishing criteria for selecting and excluding previous studies, and
concluding with the presentation and discussion of results. Overall, the findings
confirmed a robust relationship between color and the human environment. Color goes
beyond mere aesthetic appeal in patient clothing; it serves as a tool that positively and
effectively influences patients' mood and psyche, ultimately affecting their behavior
and interaction with their surroundings. Consequently, the study's results underscored
the importance of carefully choosing colors in healthcare environments, especially in
patient clothing, given its significant potential to elicit unconscious responses in
patients, whether positive or negative.
Keywords: Color Symbolism, Patient Attire, Psychological and Physiological Impact,
Healthcare Environments.
