Survey of Physicians on Gender-Sensitive Cardiovascular Care in Germany

155 physicians working in German inpatient cardiology wards participated in a cross-sectional online survey assessing gender sensitivity, knowledge of sex- and gender-specific guideline content, and perceived implementation of gender-sensitive care (GSC+). The dataset, authored by Sophia Sgraja and last updated in April 2026, contains descriptive, correlational, and regression analysis results from the study. Physicians demonstrated high gender sensitivity (M=3.95) and moderate-to-high knowledge (M=0.63), but perceived implementation in clinical practice was rated as moderate to low (M=2.45).

Use Cases

• Analyzing correlations between physician demographics and gender sensitivity scores based on survey responses.
• Identifying specific knowledge gaps in sex- and gender-specific cardiovascular guideline content based on the assessment results.
• Modeling the disconnect between awareness, knowledge, and clinical application of gender-sensitive care based on the reported lack of significant relationships.
• Comparing implementation levels across different hospital settings (e.g., university hospitals) based on the described findings.

Strengths

• Dataset is small (5.5 KB) and likely straightforward to inspect and analyze.
• Includes specific statistical results: mean gender sensitivity score of 3.95 (SD=0.73) and mean knowledge score of 0.63 (SD=0.08).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for statistical modeling.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset's scope is limited to 155 physicians in German inpatient cardiology wards, which may affect generalizability.
