Comfort assessment of medical protective clothing based on objective weighting method
Addressing the lack of mathematical quantitative evaluation in existing clothing comfort assessment method,the entropy weight-mutation series method was put forward,which did not require specifying indicator weights,overcoming the subjectivity of manual weighting in comfort evaluation.A comprehensive medical protective clothing comfort evaluation index system was established,encompassing three dimensions including human thermal physiology,thermal psychology and clothing performance.Four actual dressing conditions were taken as examples.Eight main influencing factors were selected to build clothing comfort system,and the system was verified with practical examples.The results showed that clothing comfort was influenced by a combination of clothing type and activity intensity,with higher comfort observed under conditions of lower intensity,lower thermal resistance,and lower moisture resistance.It is considered that entropy weight-mutation series method considers the interrelationships among various indicators,avoids the reliance on subjective weights in traditional evaluation methods,and provides a reference basis for enhancing the comprehensive evaluation of medical protective clothing comfort.
