چکیده مقاله:

Introduction: The disposal of hospital waste should be processed by means of reliable and standard techniques; otherwise, it can lead to serious environmental and human health damages. Several approaches have been used for waste management; whilst, waste minimization (WM) is the best approach that focuses on the reduction and prevention of waste. This study investigated the WM approach through a number of selected hospitals in Isfahan. Methods: Data was collected through a questionnaire, designed based on WHO recommendations regarding WM in hospitals. Ninety people from 7 (4 university affiliated and 3 private) hospitals participated in this study; which were selected by stratified sampling.Data analysis was done by T test and ANOVA using SPSS software. Results: There was no significant difference between university and private hospitals in WM performance (p=0/2). Comparing university and private hospitals performance in WM domains revealed a significant difference in two domains of WM performance, Waste segregation, good management and control practices (p= 0.001, p= 0.03). Conclusion: The private hospitals should be more concerned about waste segregation; accordingly, setting rules and increasing supervision for the application of guidelines are necessary. Management and control practices should be also reinforced through training programs
