Introduction: Implementing health promoting activities in a hospital results in hospital efficiency, increasing satisfaction, and life quality of patients and employees and improves the conditions of health hospitals in the competitive health market. In a hospital, different dimensions of the problem should initially be identified by extensive review of indicators and standards, global experiences, and expert views and then an appropriate program should be presented. Therefore, the present study aimed at performing a systematic review of indicators for health promotion of hospitals.
Methods: The present research was a descriptive- practical study. Sampling in this study was conducted by census due to the limited size of the study population (hospital directors of Tehran University of Medical Sciences). The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire in two parts, including demographic information and factors affecting the implementation of health promoting hospitals. For data analysis, descriptive statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS version 18.
Results: For planning a health promotion project at hospitals, they should pay attention to health promotion, clinical outcomes, holistic health, quality of life, patient satisfaction, equitable and health literacy for health promotion.
Conclusions: Since the hospital responsibility goes beyond providing specialized and clinical services, all hospitals need to review their health-promoting standards, consider international experience and experts, and take appropriate actions to improve their services.
