Abstract

Fashion is a way to express identity and a ffi liations with speci fi c social networks, and sociocultural organisations of health care facilities are no exception. Employees in hospitals must adhere to strictly regulated dress code policies, albeit shoes are one of few markers that are not regulated. The aim of this study was to analyse the expressed team identity among healthcare sta ff by studying signs of personality traits they share with colleagues, as found in their choice of footwear. A total of 213 images of hospital footwear, posted on Instagram, were analysed utilising thematic content analysis. The results show that choice of footwear signals seven di ff erent personality traits: the anonymous, an understated conformist; the discreet standout, a subtle individualist; the doer on the move, an active and ready contributor; the naturist, a barefoot enthusiast; the superior tourist, a temporarily elite visitor; the outsider, an unconventional maverick; and the legend, a battle-scarred veteran.

医院的鞋子和他们的主人:通过鞋子的标志来表达医护人员的团队身份
时尚是一种表达身份的方式,是与特定社会网络的联系,医疗机构的社会文化组织也不例外。医院的员工必须遵守严格规定的着装政策,尽管鞋子是少数不受监管的标志之一。这项研究的目的是通过研究他们与同事共有的性格特征,比如他们对鞋子的选择,来分析医护人员表达的团队认同感。利用主题内容分析,研究人员对Instagram上发布的213张医院鞋的图片进行了分析。结果表明,鞋子的选择表明了七种不同的性格特征:低调的随大流者;谨慎的突出者,微妙的个人主义者;行动中的实干家,积极和准备好的贡献者;裸体主义者,赤脚爱好者;高级游客,暂时的精英游客;局外人,一个非传统的特立独行者;还有传说,一个身经百战的老兵。
