Survey of Nurses' Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Regarding Geriatric Intrinsic Capacity

Yi Ren published a dataset on figshare in March 2026 containing survey responses from 606 clinical nurses in Xinjiang, China. The data was collected via an online questionnaire from November 2024 to February 2025 to assess nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding intrinsic capacity in the aging population. The dataset includes sociodemographic information and KAP scores, with statistical reliability metrics reported.

Use Cases

• Predicting nurses' knowledge scores based on nursing hierarchy and training history as identified by LASSO regression.
• Analyzing the relationship between hospital support for new technology and nurses' attitude scores.
• Modeling the mediation effect between knowledge, attitude, and practice scores using structural equation modeling path coefficients.
• Investigating the association between the proportion of elderly patients cared for and nurses' practice scores.

Strengths

• Contains 606 valid questionnaire responses from a specific tertiary hospital.
• The research instrument showed high reliability with Cronbach's α values of 0.979 for knowledge, 0.916 for attitude, and 0.936 for practice sections.
• Mean scores for knowledge (34.75 ± 11.165), attitude (20.86 ± 5.488), and practice (32.69 ± 8.695) are provided with their possible ranges.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to figshare, being limited to a single hospital in Xinjiang.
• The dataset is 416.0 KB, indicating a limited scope and likely a small number of features.
