German Inpatient Cardiology Physicians Survey on Gender-Sensitive Care

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

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between physician demographics and gender sensitivity based on survey scores.
• Identifying knowledge gaps in sex- and gender-specific guideline content among cardiologists.
• Modeling the disconnect between awareness, knowledge, and clinical application of gender-sensitive care.
• Comparing perceived implementation of gender-sensitive care across different hospital types (e.g., university vs. non-university).

Strengths

• Dataset size is 5.5 KB, indicating a focused and manageable scope for analysis.
• Includes specific statistical results such as mean scores and standard deviations for key constructs (e.g., gender sensitivity M=3.95, SD=0.73).
• Clear study design described: a cross-sectional survey of 155 physicians in a defined clinical setting (German inpatient cardiology).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain statistical methods.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic and institutional bias inherent to the single-country, inpatient-focused survey.
