Title: Emerging of Greening Hospitals is Future Challenge for Nurse Manager: Designing and Validating Protocol

Abstract:

Background: Green hospital promotes public health by continually reducing their environmental impact and ultimately eliminating its contribution to the burden of disease. 
Aim: To design and validate protocol for Greening Hospitals in Egyptian hospitals. 
Method: It is a quasi-experimental study. The study subjects consisted of managers (112) and (45) jury groups. The study was conducted in two private internationally accredited hospitals. Three tools were used for collecting data (Managers' knowledge about green hospital questionnaire, Green Hospital Checklist, and opinionnaire). 

Results: (91.07%) of managers had unsatisfactory knowledge about the green hospital and only (2.678%) had satisfactory knowledge before awareness sessions. Post-awareness sessions (86.6%) had satisfactory knowledge levels and only (0.892%) had unsatisfactory. (51.785%) of managers perceived the practice of green health as poor and only (11.6%) perceived it good. (100%) of managers accepted suggested steps of greening hospital protocol. Regarding, the face and content validity of the designed greening hospital protocol as reported by a panel of experts, (100%) agreed upon the designed protocol. (97.77%) asserted it was free from duplication and redundant items and could be used for guiding appointed managers. (95.55%) stated it was in a logical sequence, could be used for orienting newly appointed managers, and is useful for training hospitals' workforce.
Conclusion: Managers in the studied hospitals were lack knowledge about the green hospital before awareness sessions. Compared to post-awareness sessions they had a satisfactory knowledge level. Managers perceived the practice of green health as poor. Finally, a protocol for greening hospitals was designed and validated.
