Abstract

Introduction: Preparedness, focused on planning, training, and research, is one of the primary stages of the disaster management cycle. Accordingly, this study was conducted to determine the level of awareness in nursing managers and the preparedness of hospitals for disasters in the hospitals of Sanandaj, the capital of Kurdistan Province.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023, with a total of 167 Nursing Managers in Sanandaj selected as the research sample using a census approach. Data were collected using a demographic information form, WHO Hospital Emergency Response Checklist, and managers' emergency awareness questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests, Fisher's exact test, independent t-tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson correlation. Data analysis was performed using SPSS v26 (P < 0.05).

Findings: The results indicated that the overall mean score of managers' awareness was 77.89%, categorized as good. The assessment of hospital preparedness showed that the overall emergency preparedness level of hospitals in Sanandaj was 69.23%, considered strong. Among the dimensions of hospital preparedness, the highest score was in the command-and-control dimension at 83.33%, while the lowest was in the human resources dimension at 56.66%.

Conclusion: The findings indicated a high level of awareness among nursing managers and a strong level of hospital preparedness in Sanandaj. However, improving and enhancing specific dimensions may require targeted educational and organizational approaches.

护理管理者对灾害的认识和医院备灾能力评估：一项横断面研究。

导言：以计划、培训和研究为重点的准备工作是灾害管理周期的主要阶段之一。因此，本研究旨在确定库尔德斯坦省首府萨南达季的护理管理者对灾害的认识水平以及医院对灾害的准备情况：这项横断面研究于 2023 年进行，采用普查法选取了萨南达季的 167 名护理经理作为研究样本。数据收集使用了人口信息表、世界卫生组织医院应急反应检查表和管理人员应急意识调查表。数据分析采用了卡方检验、费雪精确检验、独立 t 检验、方差分析 (ANOVA) 和皮尔逊相关分析。数据分析使用 SPSS v26 (P Findings)：结果表明，管理人员意识的总体平均得分为 77.89%，属于良好。对医院准备情况的评估显示，萨南达季各医院的总体应急准备水平为 69.23%，属于较强。在医院应急准备的各个维度中，得分最高的是指挥与控制维度，为 83.33%，得分最低的是人力资源维度，为 56.66%：研究结果表明，萨南达季的护理管理者对医院准备工作的认识水平较高，准备程度也较强。然而，要改善和提高特定维度，可能需要有针对性的教育和组织方法。
