<![CDATA[Fire in hospitals is a risk that may threaten patients, staff, visitors, and continuity of health services. The Hospital Occupational Safety and Health (K3RS) Team has an important role in fire prevention and emergency response. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitude of the K3RS Team and fire preparedness at Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta. This quantitative study used a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 51 K3RS Team members, and 45 respondents completed the questionnaire. Total sampling was used. Data were collected using a Guttman-scale knowledge questionnaire and attitude and preparedness questionnaires using a 1–4 Likert scale. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and the Spearman Rank test at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that 30 respondents (66.7%) had good knowledge and 15 (33.3%) had adequate knowledge. Very good attitudes were found in 38 respondents (84.4%) and good attitudes in 7 (15.6%). Very good preparedness was found in 39 respondents (86.7%) and good preparedness in 6 (13.3%). A significant relationship was found between knowledge and preparedness (p=0.033; r=-0.318), while attitude was not significantly related to preparedness (p=0.787; r=0.041). The negative direction of the knowledge-preparedness correlation should be interpreted cautiously because the cross-sectional design does not establish causality and preparedness may also be influenced by other factors.]]>
