Introduction: This study aimed to assess the preparedness of educational hospitals of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences using a self-designed questionnaire that measures the six factors of resiliency.
Methods and Materials: In this descriptive-analytical study, data collection was performed through a self-designed questionnaire covering six factors of resilience engineering, the validity and reliability of that were examined using CVR, CVI and alpha Cronbach. Data collection using a questionnaire by stratified sampling from four hospitals and data analysis was performed with SPSS.24. 
Results: Reliability analysis shows that the alpha coefficient (α = 0.98) has excellent internal consistency, and CVI and CVR were estimated at 0.78 and 0.97, respectively. From 1211 people of survey population by considering inclusion study criteria, 118 persons were randomly selected through stratified sampling. The results of the questionnaire analysis revealed that the average factor score (SD) as follows: Correct culture 42.54 (2.98), learning culture 72.69 (3.45), awareness and opacity 34.61 (3.5) were assessed with the highest score. The management commitment 25.66 (2.85) and preparedness factor 119.93 (5.8) were in the range of moderate, and the flexibility factor was 14.64 (2.12). The results of correlation show that there is a positive and significant strong relationship between hospital resiliency and demographic characteristics (age: r = 0.65, years of experience: r = 0.69, level of education; r = 0.53, P-value < 0.001.
Conclusion: Years of work experience and level of education play an essential role in increasing the resiliency of hospitals. Should give training and maneuvering in triage, treatment, accident command, and decontamination priority.
