However, there has not been any accurate and detailed model for establishing a HPH in Iran up to now. Therefore, this study aimed to determine factors affecting the establishment of a health promoting hospital in Iran using factor analysis method.
Methods: This applied, cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical study was conducted in Iran in four steps. Confirma-tory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used for determining factors affecting the establishment of a HPH.
Results: Society (0.97) and Policy (0.74) had the highest regression weights (effects) and management had the lowest one.
Conclusion: Community assessment was the most important dimension of proposed conceptual model for establishing a HPH.
