Crises are unexpected events that require an immediate response from the organization.

Within the scope of the study, in-depth interviews were conducted with seven health managers working in the management part of a public hospital in Istanbul, and the qualitative data obtained were divided into various categories and analyzed by content analysis method. It has been determined that health managers provide uninterrupted communication in crisis management, examine events on the spot, share problems with the crisis center team and develop solutions, and they do not experience great difficulties during crisis management.
