Introduction: Regarding the importance of health care centers and healthcare management in the occurrence of threats and crises, these centers are considered by enemies to disrupt a country.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to assessing the knowledge of hospital senior managers about passive defense in Ardebil province in 2014.
Method: The present study was a cross-sectional descriptive study that conducted on (45) hospital senior managers. Sampling method was census. Data collection tool was a five-part questionnaire that provided by researchers. To determine validity and reliability of questionnaire, face and content validity (CVR: 0.79) and Cronbach’s Alpha (0.84) were used, respectively. Data analysis was performed using SPSS23 software and statistical descriptive- analytical tests.
Results: Most of the senior managers were male (82.2%) and their age range was (36-40). The average of management experience was (2.5) years. Only, (28.9%) of managers had knowledge in good level about "totality of passive defense", 31.1 % about "principles of passive defense", (13.3%) about "criteria of priority in therapeutic centers", and (22.2%) regarding the "criterion of reducing the vulnerability of manpower". There wasn’t any significant relationship between levels of knowledge of managers in the respective four domains with any of the demographic characteristics (P ≥ 0.05).
Conclusion: The knowledge of majority of senior managers of hospitals is not at a desirable level; so, training should start from the level of managers and specialists and gradually develops to other personnel.
