Purpose: This study examined the resilience of Healthcare Institutions in infectious disease disasters from the perspective of nursing managers, who are key personnel in disaster management and organizational resilience. This research was driven by an interest in the predictive and preventive capabilities of organizational resilience for the development of organizational processes and functions.
Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional research design to evaluate the organizational resilience of a COVID-19 dedicated hospital. Nursing managers in departments involved in the care of patients with COVID-19, including those in designated beds and those engaged in the management, treatment, and operation of the hospital’s response to the pandemic, were surveyed. The Systemic Potentials Management Foreground Questions tool was translated into Korean, modified to suit the context, and the Korean Version of Systemic Potentials Management for Infectious Disease Disaster (K-SPM-ID2) was developed by the researcher after conducting content validity and a pilot study.
Results: The organizational resilience of Infectious Disease Dedicated Healthcare Institutions was determined to be at an acceptable level. The capability with the highest score was response capability, while the lowest score was monitoring capability. There was no correlation or difference in organizational resilience according to the characteristics of the study subjects. However, there were differences depending on the characteristics of the organization. The developed tool was found to be valid and acceptable to nursing managers.
Discussion: It was determined that it is crucial to consider the characteristics of the organization when establishing strategies to enhance the organizational resilience of healthcare institutions dedicated to infectious diseases. The improvement of organizational resilience through periodic evaluation can contribute to the maintenance of organizational goals and the reduction of the impact of infectious disease disasters.
