    The authors instructed twenty university hospital nurses to perform their daily tasks under the following conditions: wearing a standard uniform, wearing uniforms that they like, and wearing a uniform that was adopted through discussion among hospital ward staff, and compared the effects of differences in how medical uniforms were adopted on the psychological status of nurses and teambased medicine. (1) Nurses wearing a uniform adopted through discussion among hospital ward staff showed a significantly higher level of work satisfaction than those wearing a standard uniform. No difference was observed in communication with patients or colleagues, stress levels, or a feeling of tension among the three conditions. (2) In addition, no significant difference was observed in the evaluation of team-based medicine among the three conditions. However, only when wearing a uniform that was adopted through discussion among hospital ward staffs, nurses with a strong “purpose and aspirations” more frequently communicated with patients or colleagues, and showed a higher level of work satisfaction. Those with a strong sense of “workplace cooperation” also frequently communicated with their colleagues.

    The environmental room was set at 4 conditions. 11 kinds of lining fabric were prepared for men's suits which are used in the summer and chose 14 pairs pieces of suitable terminology to evaluate these lining fabrics. The hand properties of linings were evaluated in a specific manner by thirty subjects. There were many differences in each sensory evaluation for 4 environmental conditions, particularly they were able to judge the hand properties, like clinginess of lining fabrics. The results of factor analysis have shown that the hand value of lining fabrics consisted of softness, thickness, and dry feeling as the first factor, the smoothness, and clinginess as the second factor.
