Health Promoting Hospitals are among the major health promoters of the society. To acquire Health Promoting Hospital (HPH) status, a hospital must self-assess to know their inadequacies and then lay the foundation for improvements. This study has been performed with the aim of assessing readiness of the largest heart hospital of northwestern Iran regarding the HPH standards.
This cross-sectional study was conducted through the participation of 270 administrative and clinical staff of the largest heart hospital of northwestern Iran. Data were gathered using self-assessment tool for health promoting hospitals including demographics and the HPH standards. HPH standards' dimensions were Management policy, Patient assessment, Patient information and intervention, Promoting a healthy workplace, and Continuity and cooperation. Analysis was performed by SPSS v. 16 with a significance level of 0.05.
The participants included clinical (67.4%) and administrative (32.6%) staff. Among the HPH standards, the lowest score belonged to the management policy (1.44 ± 0.53) and the highest one to the patient information and intervention (1.72 ± 0.47). The average score of compliance with the HPH standards was 1.60 ± 0.40 which shows moderate progress of the hospital towards the HPH standards.
Regarding the moderate situation of the hospital in HPH standards and the low score of the management policy, the studied hospital should enforce the standards, especially in the management policy. Also, there is a need for health promotion programs in all three levels of prevention with the participation of the staff and the patients as much as possible.
健康促进医院是社会主要的健康促进者之一。要获得健康促进医院（HPH）地位，医院必须进行自我评估以了解自身不足，然后为改进奠定基础。本研究旨在评估伊朗西北部最大的心脏病医院在HPH标准方面的准备情况。
这项横断面研究通过伊朗西北部最大的心脏病医院的270名行政和临床工作人员参与进行。使用健康促进医院自我评估工具收集数据，包括人口统计学和HPH标准。HPH标准的维度包括管理政策、患者评估、患者信息与干预、促进健康的工作场所、连续性与合作。采用SPSS v. 16进行分析，显著性水平为0.05。
参与者包括临床工作人员（67.4%）和行政工作人员（32.6%）。在HPH标准中，得分最低的是管理政策（1.44 ± 0.53），得分最高的是患者信息与干预（1.72 ± 0.47）。符合HPH标准的平均得分为1.60 ± 0.40，这表明该医院在朝着HPH标准前进方面取得了中等进展。
鉴于该医院在HPH标准方面的中等状况以及管理政策得分较低，该研究医院应加强这些标准，尤其是在管理政策方面。此外，需要在所有三级预防层面开展健康促进项目，尽可能让工作人员和患者参与其中。
