How do they feel? Patients' perspectives on draping and dignity in a physiotherapy outpatient setting: A pilot study.

Background: Research to date has focused on dignity within the hospital rather than outpatient settings which is likely to raise different issues from the patients' perspective.

Purpose: To investigate patients' views relating to draping and dignity and their choice of dressing options in the physiotherapy outpatient setting.

Method: A custom-designed questionnaire was developed including feedback from a focus group of 10 individuals attending a physiotherapy outpatient clinic.
