Abstract

Given the importance of health care centers and the army's health management in the face of threats and crises, enemies are targeting these centers to disrupt a country and weaken its operational level. In this regard, one of the best ways to deal with passive defense. The aim of this study was to investigate the awareness of senior managers of selected army hospitals (A ، B and C) about the principles of passive defense in 2019. The present study is a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted on 60 senior managers. The sampling method was based on Morgan's table and the sample size was 52 people. Data collection tools were used to inform the Ghasemian managers' awareness questionnaire, data analysis was performed using spss18 software and descriptive and analytical statistical tests of T-sample were performed. The results of a single-sample T test showed that the level of awareness of managers of selected army hospitals(A ، B and C) about the components of passive defense at 99% confidence level was significant and this shows the awareness of managers to the components of passive defense. Due to the awareness of the majority of senior managers of selected army hospitals, it is suggested that passive defense training be provided to all army medical personnel in different hospitals of the organization at the national level.
