This research assesses disaster readiness and psychological resilience among EMS providers in Tehran, Iran.
Cross-sectional analytical study involving 467 EMS providers in Tehran Province, Iran.
Data collected via online self-administered questionnaires covering demographics and resilience metrics.
Descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and multiple linear regression were employed to analyze resilience factors.
Mean disaster readiness score was 95.88 ± 10.62 and resilience score was 44.81 ± 9.50, with only 3.85% classified as highly resilient.
Resilience was significantly correlated with readiness (r = 0.562, p < 0.001) and associated with work experience, education, and disaster management training.
Final regression model identified work experience, education, and prior training as independent predictors of disaster resilience (R² = 0.606).
