Resilient schools have a good capacity in disasters and their educational mission. Following natural disasters, schools play a critical role in the recovery of society. The study aims to assess the resilience of schools to disasters in Kermanshah, Iran.</span><br> <span style="line-height:normal"><b>Methods<span dir="RTL" lang="FA" new="" roman="" times="">: </span></b>This research is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study. A proportionate stratified random sampling strategy was used to select 231 participants from schools in Kermanshah. Total resilience showed the weakest (r = 0.499) and strongest (r = 0.910) correlations with location and function. Data were collected using standard school resilience in disasters questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 22. Statistical tests such as Pearson correlation, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA were conducted at a significant level of 0.05.</span><br> <span style="line-height:normal"><b>Results<span dir="RTL" lang="FA" new="" roman="" times="">: </span></b>The results showed the X &plusmn; SD of the total resilience score (143.61&plusmn;32.50). The highest and lowest mean scores among the resilience dimensions were assigned to function (43.81&plusmn; 13.11) and safety (6.59&plusmn; 3.40) dimensions, respectively. In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between total resilience and its dimensions <i>(P</i> <0.001). Total resilience showed the weakest (r = 0.499) and strongest (r = 0.910) correlations with location and function dimensions.<b> </b></span><br> <span style="line-height:normal"><b>Conclusion<span dir="RTL" lang="FA" new="" roman="" times="">: </span></b>The level of school resilience was determined to be moderate. It can assist the schools<span courier="" new="">&rsquo;</span> management board in analyzing the schools<span courier="" new="">&rsquo;</span> level of resilience and setting disaster risk reduction priorities. Awareness of the resilience state can aid policymakers and professionals in developing an effective resilience program.</span></span></span><br> <br> <br> <span style="font-size:14pt"><span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span style="line-height:150%"><span 2="" nazanin="" style="font-family:"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> Resilience, schools, disasters, Kermanshah, students, 89 94 http://jhehp.zums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-498-2&slc_lang=en&sid=1 hamed rahimi rahimi.sky72@gmail.com 100319475328460012022 0000000167293512 No Department of Health, Safety, Environmental Management, School of Public Health, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran.
