Abstract

This study examined the existing issues and limitations of current scrub jackets by conducting a pre-focus group interview. Four female nurses, each of whom had at least five years of experience working in a hospital or the medical field, participated in the pre-focus group interview to provide feedback on existing scrub jackets. Based on their comments, six design criteria related to the FEA framework (i.e., fit/movement, line/shape, attractive/stylish, design details/convenience, durability, and professional appearance) were defined.
