INAPAD-18: Teacher Attitudes Toward Students with Type 1 Diabetes in Gran Canaria

María Yehisiri Martín–Báez published survey data from 126 teachers in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Gran Canaria, on 2026-06-04. The dataset contains responses to the INAPAD-18 instrument, which measures teacher attitudes and prejudices regarding the care of students with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. The final sample represents a 47.72% participation rate from the target population of 264 teachers.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between teacher experience and attitudes based on the reported mean of 3.77 years working with students with T1DM.
• Investigate gender disparities in attitudes based on the reported 84.12% female participant rate and the noted, though non-significant, difference in scores.
• Benchmark school-level attitudes using the INAPAD-18 scores, as the description highlights two schools with the most positive results.
• Assess training needs by examining the 'slight deficiencies in teachers’ training and perception' noted in the study's conclusion.

Strengths

• Uses a validated instrument, the INAPAD-18 questionnaire, for data collection.
• Provides specific demographic statistics, including a 47.72% participation rate and a participant gender breakdown of 84.12% women.
• Includes a clear scoring interpretation where lower INAPAD-18 scores indicate more favourable attitudes, with a reported mean score of 47.02.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The sample of 126 participants did not reach the size required for statistical representativeness of the 264-teacher population.
