Occupational Stress Factors Among Healthcare Workers in Vietnam, 212 Participants

212 healthcare workers in Ho Chi Minh City participated in a cross-sectional study on occupational stress from February to March 2025. The dataset includes Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) scores, Brief COPE inventory results, and sociodemographic factors. Author Han Thi Ngoc Nguyen collected the data via a structured questionnaire to identify predictors of stress.

Use Cases

• Predicting perceived stress levels based on sociodemographic and occupational factors mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing the correlation between specific coping strategies (e.g., denial, behavioral disengagement) and stress scores.
• Modeling the impact of chronic disease status and professional role (e.g., physician) on occupational stress outcomes.

Strengths

• Includes validated psychometric instruments: the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and the Brief COPE inventory.
• Data collection is clearly defined: a cross-sectional study of 212 participants using total population sampling.
• Multivariate analysis was performed to identify independent predictors, including age, chronic disease status, and profession.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is limited to a single district in Ho Chi Minh City over a short period (Feb-Mar 2025), which may affect generalizability.
