The cross-sectional study was conducted in 2013 on 200 healthcare workers at Shahid Mohammadi hospital, in the city of Bandar Abbas, Iran. This hospital is the main referral hospital in Hormozgan province and has a capacity of about 450 beds with highest numbers of patient admissions. Questionnaire and checklist used for assessing health workers knowledge and awareness towards disaster management and nonstructural safety this hospital.
This study found that knowledge, awareness, and disaster preparedness of hospital staff need continual reinforcement to improve self efficacy for disaster management. Equipping health care facilities at the time of natural disasters, especially earthquakes are of great importance all over the world, especially in Iran. This requires the national strategies and planning for all health facilities.
It seems due to limitations of hospital beds, insufficient of personnel, and medical equipment, health care providers paid greater attention to this issue. Since this hospital is the only educational public hospital in the province, it is essential to pay much attention to the risk management not only to this hospital but at the national level to health facilities.
从长远来看,伊朗不可避免地会发生毁灭性地震,近期也很有可能发生。本研究的目的是评估医院工作人员对医院灾害管理系统的了解,并确定伊朗阿巴斯港沙希德·穆罕默迪医院的非结构安全评估。该医院是霍尔木兹甘省的主要转诊医院,床位约450张,患者入院人数最多。
2013年,对伊朗阿巴斯港沙希德·穆罕默迪医院的200名医护人员进行了横断面研究。该医院是霍尔木兹甘省的主要转诊医院,床位约450张,患者入院人数最多。使用问卷和清单来评估医护人员对该医院灾害管理和非结构安全的知识与意识。
本研究发现,医院工作人员的知识、意识和灾害准备需要持续加强,以提高灾害管理的自我效能。在自然灾害,尤其是地震发生时,配备医疗设施在全世界都非常重要,在伊朗尤其如此。这需要针对所有医疗设施制定国家战略和规划。
由于医院床位有限、人员不足和医疗设备短缺,医疗服务提供者似乎更加关注这个问题。由于该医院是该省唯一的公立教学医院,不仅要高度重视该医院的风险管理,而且要在国家层面重视医疗设施的风险管理。
