Background: The COVID-19 pandemic led to the wearing of face masks by both psychiatric care workers and patients. Despite their protection against transmission, negative effects - related to mask wearing - on the doctor-patient relationship are reported, which may be more severe in psychiatric patients.
Aim: Previous studies did not distinguish between face mask types.
Objectives: To design and validate a practical questionnaire for clinicians, to identify barriers and facilitators for evidence-based practice (EBP), that is, the use of research evidence in patient care.
