Aim: This research was carried out to determine the current situation regarding disaster preparedness in health institutions. Methodology: Research data was obtained by applying a survey to 120 healthcare workers (nurses, health technicians and laboratory workers) working in a private hospital operating in Istanbul between 01.01.2024-29.02.2024. In this research, the "Hospital Disaster and Emergency Preparedness" scale and the "Hospital Employee Disaster and Emergency Preparedness" scale were used. The data were recorded and analyzed in the SPSS 21.0 program. Chi-Square test, Fisher's Exact test, and Correlation analysis, which were used to analyze the data. Results: The findings revealed no significant relationship between the preparedness of healthcare workers for hospital disasters and emergencies and their genders, ages.. etc. However, a significant relationship was found between their professions and their previous training on disasters. The preparedness of healthcare workers for hospital disasters and emergencies showed no significant relationship with their genders, ages such as demographic information in the institution, professional experiences, or involvement in hospital duties during disasters. However, a significant relationship was found between their previous training on disasters. As a result of the study, it was determined that there was a low positive relationship between the preparedness of healthcare professionals for hospital disasters and emergencies and the preparedness of hospital employees for disasters and emergencies. Conclusions: In order to hospitals to effectively manage disasters, they need to train their staff at regular intervals, organize emergency drills, create an emergency plan, and conduct regular risk assessments to identify potential dangers and weaknesses.
