Abstract

Objective: To assess the preparedness of Iranian hospitals against earthquake.

Methods: In this systematic review, a query was carried out on PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, Sid, Irandoc, Google scholar, and Magiran databases for articles published between 2000-2019. Statistical analysis was performed using Chi-square and I2 tests at a confidence interval of 95%. Finally, out of 7458 studies, 10 related articles were analyzed.

Results: As evidenced by the obtained results, the highest readiness was obtained at 0.709 (95% CI: 0.49-0.88) in "disaster plan", while the lowest readiness was reported at 0.455 (95% CI: 0.23-0.68) in "structural safety". The overall earthquake preparedness of these hospitals was calculated at 0.47 (95% CI: 0.37-0.56).

Conclusion: The results of the present study pointed to the moderate level of earthquake preparedness in Iranian hospitals. This finding highlights the necessity of a training plan and implementation of a national program in all hospitals of the country to increase earthquake preparedness.

伊朗医院的地震准备:系统回顾和荟萃分析。

目的:评价伊朗医院的地震防范能力。方法:在本系统综述中，对PubMed、Scopus、Web of Sciences、Sid、Irandoc、Google scholar和Magiran数据库中2000-2019年发表的文章进行了查询。统计学分析采用卡方检验和I2检验，置信区间为95%。最后，在7458项研究中，分析了10篇相关文章。结果:所得结果表明，“灾难计划”的准备程度最高，为0.709 (95% CI: 0.49-0.88)，“结构安全”的准备程度最低，为0.455 (95% CI: 0.23-0.68)。这些医院的总体地震防备程度计算为0.47 (95% CI: 0.37-0.56)。结论:本研究的结果表明，伊朗医院的地震防备水平中等。这一发现强调了在该国所有医院制定培训计划和实施国家方案以加强地震防备的必要性。
