Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Clinicians using head-worn displays are perceived as warmer than those using tablets during video consultations. This finding suggests head-worn devices may improve social perceptions in healthcare settings.
Area Of Science
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Social Psychology
- Healthcare Technology
Background
- Portable display devices are vital in healthcare, offering handsfree information access.
- Head-worn displays (HWDs) present potential efficiency gains over devices like tablets.
- The impact of HWDs on social perceptions of clinicians remains unexplored.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate how different portable display devices affect social perceptions of clinicians.
- To apply the Stereotype Content Model to assess clinician warmth (politeness, engagement, trustworthiness).
Main Methods
- Three experiments involving 745 participants were conducted.
- Simulated video-conferencing consultations between actor-clinicians were used.
- Perceptions of clinician warmth were measured based on device usage (HWDs vs. tablets).
Main Results
- Clinicians using HWDs were perceived as significantly warmer than those using tablets.
- This effect persisted regardless of interruption frequency or type (work-related vs. social).
Conclusions
- HWDs may enhance perceptions of clinician warmth compared to tablets in clinical settings.
- The findings suggest HWDs could improve patient-clinician interactions and trust.

The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
