| description | Background & Objectives: Today, the diversity is one of the basic principles in crisis
management process in the hospitals. This process requires serious attention due to its
complexity and diversity. This study aimed at investigating the managers' perception about
diversity dimensions of crisis management in hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of
Medical Sciences.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in 10 educational hospitals of
Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in 2017. A total of 40 executive, administrative,
financial and accounting, and nursing directors were selected through census method and
participated in the study. Data were collected using the questionnaire of diversity dimensions
in crisis management and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient, t-test
and ANOVA tests and through SPSS23 software.
Results: The mean score of managers' perceptions of crisis management dimensions was
3.44. The highest and lowest levels of perceptions of managers were respectively obtained
for the "inclusion and learning" dimension (Mean=3.75) and "recognition and risk
management" (Mean= 3.29). There was a significant relationship between the mean scores of
"mutual trust between staff and managers" and "work experience" (P = 0.04).
Conclusion: Managers' perception of the "recognition and risk management" dimension was
lower compared to other dimensions. Therefore, hospital managers should be more sensitive
to using risk assessment results and follow a systemic attitude in their risk management
plannings.
