<p>EFA Dataset.</p>

A 2026 cross-sectional survey of 593 healthcare professionals in northern Ethiopia assessed readiness for Community-Based Kangaroo Mother Care (cKMC). The dataset contains responses to a 30-item instrument measuring capability, perception, knowledge, and engagement. It was authored by Hagos T. Atalay and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing predictors of healthcare professional readiness based on age and work experience mentioned in the description
• Modeling the relationship between prior cKMC experience and perception scores as described in the results
• Assessing gaps in guideline familiarity and training needs based on reported statistics like 13.2% having read national guidelines
• Evaluating the psychometric properties of survey instruments for healthcare implementation research

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a substantial sample of 593 healthcare professionals
• The survey instrument demonstrated strong psychometric performance with a Cronbach’s α of 0.85 and CVI of 0.97
• Analysis includes multivariable models identifying predictors like age and work experience

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data reflects a specific geographic and temporal context (northern Ethiopia, 2026), which may limit generalizability
