Kickstarting the Adoption Process of Reusable Surgical Gowns in Healthcare: Expectations, Evaluation and Factors That May Influence Healthcare Professional’s Willingness to Wear Reusable Gowns

Information campaigns on reusables in healthcare and educational insights on their safe use can improve perceptions about reusable gowns as a safe and high-quality alternative. This study's findings may guide legislative efforts and hospital managers to promote sustainable healthcare practices. Fostering bottom-up readiness among HCPs may influence the hospital's procurement process. Additionally, further improving the design of reusable products can optimize the user satisfaction.
