| Popis: | Background: Hospital administrators play a key role in the eective management of surge capacity in disasters, but there is little information available about the characteristics required to manage this. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to identify characteristics of hospital administrators that are important in the eective man- agement of surge capacity in disasters. Materials and Methods: This was a qualitative study. Semi-structured purposive interviews were conducted with 28 hospital ad- ministrators who had experience working in surge situations in hospitals during disasters. Framework analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: Three themes and 12 subthemes were identified. The themes were as follows: 1) crisis managerial characteristics, 2) personal characteristics, and 3) specific requirements. Conclusions: In this study, some characteristics that had a positive impact on the success of a manager in a hospital surge situa- tion were identified. These characteristics ought to be taken into account when appointing hospital administrators and designing training programs for hospital administrators with the aim of being better prepared to face disasters. |
