%X Lean applications are based on a philosophy of eliminating the waste in the system and consist of a production system aiming to reach the most productive way by focusing on value concept. The lean management is a philosophy that can change organization types of hospitals. Lean is a management system that allows increasing the quality of patient care by reducing mistakes and waiting period. In the long run, lean applications will make hospitals stronger by reducing costs and risks and thereby increasing growth and expansion. For a lean transformation to be successful, it is necessary to have a vision and an action plan in an organizational manner. Therefore, before applying lean improvement techniques, it is necessary to share the vision and the action plan of the institution with all personnel. To start the change, first of all, we need to change skills and thinking patterns of personnel. However, many employees are resistant to change, although they complain about the situation. A literature review for this study indicated that while there are some studies on the lean manufacturing practices with health professionals their resistance to lean applications are under researched. It is a well-known fact that health professionals are resistant to lean improvement due to distrust to change, falling in inadequate position, future anxiety, economic and social losses. However, it is important to determine for what reasons and at what level these resistances take place. Based on this idea, it was aimed that determination of health professionals working in Duzce University Health Application and Research Center how perceived lean health practices, their attitudes towards lean health practices and resistance to lean health applications and their resistance levels. The research includes health professionals working at the Health Application and Research Center of Duzce University. According to year 2016 data, there are 555 academic and executive, 138 company personnel, in total 693 health profesionals in this center. Although our intention was to include all of this personnel in the research, we were only able to include 202 people due to annual leave, compassionate leave, watch leave, and assignment of academic and executive personnel to other institutions. In determining the research method, it is thought that the quantitative research is the best choice considering the aim, problem and the subject of the survey. In the survey, the questionnaire technique was applied. Data were collected from 202 people which gives a response rate of %29 (202/693). %29 response
