NCT ID NCT07552792
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether the placement of hand sanitizer in a doctor's office affects how much psoriasis patients trust their doctor and feel stigmatized. Researchers will observe doctors' hand hygiene habits and ask 250 patients to fill out questionnaires. The goal is to find ways to design hospital spaces that protect patients' feelings while keeping everyone safe.
