Abstract

Abstract
Introduction: Hospitals are among the best platforms for the provision of health promotion and prevention services. The recent mission of hospitals is to change the treatment-oriented attitude to a health-oriented attitude. The present study aimed to determine the indicators of health-promoting hospitals of the World Health Organization in one of the specialized hospitals affiliated to Mashhad University of Medical Sciences.
Materials and Methods: This practical study was performed in a hospital in Mashhad, Iran. The status of the hospital was evaluated using the self-assessment checklist of health-promoting hospitals of the World Health Organization. The evaluation has been carried out in five standards, including management policy, patient assessment, patient information and intervention, promotion of a healthy workplace, and continuity in treatment and cooperation. Data were analyzed in SPSS software ( version 21) and Excel 2013.
Results: The obtained results were indicative of unfavorable conditions of the hospital in terms of management policy, compared to other standards of hospitalization, patient information and medical interventions, promotion of a healthy work environment, and continuity in treatment and cooperation, according to the indicators of Health Promoting Hospitals of the World Health Organization.
Conclusion: As evidenced by the results of the study, according to the indicators of health-promoting hospitals of the World Health Organization, this hospital is not in a good condition, and the management policy was the weakest among other standards. It is suggested that due to the importance of changing the direction of hospitals from traditional to health promotion, more efforts should be made to include this hospital in the list of health-promoting hospitals of the World Health Organization.
