Abstract

With the use of extensive interviews "with important expert informants, the authors of this article attempted to uncover concepts and findings concerning hospital public health emergency preparation from the literature. For the purpose of reviewing and synthesizing the findings of the literature, a meta-ethnographic method was utilized. This resulted in a better knowledge of what hospital PHEP is, as well as the development of a conceptual model and a collection of features to support it. In addition, it is hoped to further create a framework" for evaluating hospital PHEP in the near future. This was accomplished through the use of a modified Delphi method, which was backed by a panel of experts drawn from three different fields (administering organizations, technological and academic institutions). It was further examined by the examination of qualitative data obtained through "the distribution of questionnaires to hospitals in the province of Sichuan. The convergence of expert opinion was assessed using Kendall's coefficient of convergence W, which represents the mean value of the expert opinion. Cronbach's alpha and test-retest reliability were used to evaluate the internal and external dependability of the indicator system. Kendall's W and Spearman's correlation were used to demonstrate the content validity and construct validity of the study, respectively. The survey will be conducted in hospitals in rural regions of Sichuan province with the goal of estimating the level of readiness for PHEP in those institutions. A total of 46 hospitals were polled, and the data was analyzed using SPSS 21.0 software. The" descriptive statistics, the t-test, and factor analysis were among the procedures and tests employed in this study to analyze the quantitative data collected.
