Health Worker Pandemic Capacity Survey in Honduras, Syria, and South Sudan, 2024

March-April 2024 survey of 129 primary healthcare and community health workers in three humanitarian settings. The dataset, authored by Maryada E. Vallet, contains self-reported Likert-scale ratings on knowledge, skills, and confidence regarding pandemic response, measured at three time points: pre-training, post-training, and present status.

Use Cases

• Analyze the retention of self-reported pandemic knowledge, skills, and confidence over time based on the three-point Likert ratings.
• Compare perceived training benefits across different humanitarian settings (Honduras, Syria, South Sudan) mentioned in the description.
• Investigate factors affecting sustained health worker preparedness despite limited ongoing support, as suggested by the study's findings.

Strengths

• Data spans three distinct humanitarian settings: Honduras, Syria, and South Sudan.
• Includes 129 survey responses from primary healthcare and community level health workers.
• Measures self-reported capacities across three time points using five-point Likert ratings.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The study design is cross-sectional and retrospective; results cannot be attributed solely to training or generalized to all health workers in these countries, as noted in the description.
