Fire Safety Management, Thematic Analysis, Hospital, Fire Safety, NVIVO SoftwareAbstract
Hospital fire safety is one of the many important elements of safety in hospitals. The fire safety management is vital to have a proper response to the fire. The research aims to study the hospital's fire safety management and determine the most important elements of this topic. The methodology used for this research is qualitative research using semi-structured interviews with four participants. The qualitative analysis used is thematic analysis was used to present the themes of the fire safety management using NVIVO software. The findings of this study provided 7 themes for the safety management.
