Data Sheet 1_Validation of the extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire among healthc

Singapore healthcare professionals from two community hospitals participated in a validation study for the Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. The dataset likely contains survey responses from 251 nurses and therapists collected between March and August 2024. Pamela E-Wei Gopal authored the study, which is available as a PDF document.

Use Cases

• Validate survey instrument reliability based on reported Cronbach's alpha and ICC scores.
• Analyze musculoskeletal symptom prevalence and impact among healthcare professionals based on questionnaire responses.
• Assess correlations between musculoskeletal disorders and quality of life using EQ-5D-5L instrument data.
• Evaluate feasibility of occupational health surveys based on reported item response rates exceeding 97%.

Strengths

• Data collection followed the COSMIN framework for health measurement instrument validation.
• The study reports strong internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha above 0.81) and excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.987).
• High item response rates (exceeding 97%) indicate good survey feasibility.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (172.7 KB) and its scope is limited to 251 participants from two specific hospitals.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to Singapore's community hospital setting.
