PATIENTS are being asked to share their thoughts about hospital gowns for a major Glasgow research project.
A team at the University of Strathclyde is looking at the possible emotional and psychological effects of wearing gowns and the public is being asked to share their thoughts in a short survey.
The research is being led by Dr Liza Morton and Dr Nicola Cogan of the university's School of Psychological Science and Health.

One patient described how the gowns left her feeling 'embarrassed and vulnerable.'
Dr Morton won a Strathclyde University Impact award earlier this year for a 'selfie' she took in her gown while in hospital last year for a congenital heart defect.
The images are currently on display at Drygate in Glasgow.
