Supplementary file 1_Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding pressure injury prevent

Jiangsu Province, China, was the location for a cross-sectional survey of 251 prehospital emergency medical personnel conducted between January and March 2025. The dataset contains responses to a knowledge-attitudes-practices (KAP) questionnaire on pressure injury prevention, with scores analyzed by demographic and professional factors. It was authored by Yan Xue and published under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing correlations between professional experience and pressure injury knowledge scores based on work experience and job title variables.
• Identifying training gaps by comparing KAP scores between personnel who have and have not participated in pressure injury training.
• Modeling factors influencing preventive practices based on survey responses about the implementation of pressure injury prevention.

Strengths

• Includes 251 valid questionnaire responses with a reported 95.8% effective response rate.
• Provides specific KAP scores (e.g., total score of 121.2 ± 19.1) and percentages for knowledge (51.8% suboptimal), attitude (68.5% positive), and practice (56.6% not consistent) domains.
• Analysis follows STROBE guidelines for observational studies, suggesting a structured methodological approach.

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 eight cities in one Chinese province, which may not be generalizable to other regions.
