Nurse Workload and Safety Survey in Central European Hospitals, 2024-2025

A survey dataset of 774 nurses from public hospitals in Central Europe, collected between September 2024 and March 2025. The data was gathered by Katarzyna Tomaszewska using an original questionnaire and the Subjective Workload Assessment Questionnaire (KONOP). It examines the relationship between excessive workload, organizational factors, and patient and staff safety.

Use Cases

• Correlating organizational climate scores with perceived workload based on the KONOP questionnaire dimensions.
• Analyzing the association between work organization factors and reported adverse events mentioned in the description.
• Modeling risk factors for patient safety incidents based on survey responses about workload and control.
• Comparing workload perceptions across different hospital units or demographics using the collected survey data.

Strengths

• Includes responses from 774 nurses across multiple hospitals, providing a multicenter perspective.
• Uses a validated instrument, the KONOP questionnaire, which assesses four specific dimensions of workload.
• Data collection occurred within a defined period from September 2024 to March 2025.

Limitations

• The dataset is stored as a 28.6 KB DOCX file, which is a very small size and likely contains only summary text or a manuscript rather than raw, analyzable data.
• Column-level documentation and raw sample data are unavailable, making direct computational analysis impossible without further information.
• The geographic scope is described as 'Central Europe' but specific countries or institutions are not named, limiting precise geographic analysis.
