services, against treatment services which make people depended, and are high-cost and less effective.
The aim of the present study was to assess the philosophical principles of the prevention in primary health
care (PHC) and the knowledge and belief of the directors of the health care in this regard.
Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical survey. Research tools was a researcher-made questionnaire with
three types of basic, knowledge and attitude questions about 9 philosophical principles of PHC. Validity and
reliability were approved by experts and Cronbach’s alpha (84%), repectively. Study population included
384 individuals of top, middle and executive managers of Isfahan, Iran Health Institutions in 2002. Student’s
t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson’s correlation tests were used.

and motivation" (98.3 ± 41.1) and the lowest philosophical dimension score belonged to "equality and
justice" (65.7 ± 29.2). The highest average score of philosophical attitude was in "coordinate between
section” (81.5 ± 23.0) and the lowest philosophical dimension belonged to "equality" (49.1 ± 12.8).
