Survey and Focus Group Data on Women-Friendly Health Services in Jordan

Survey data from 393 women and focus group discussions with 18 healthcare providers assess a Women-Friendly Health Services (WFHS) pilot in Jordan. The dataset contains quantitative perception scores and qualitative themes on service implementation challenges. Researcher Eman Zmaily Dahmash published the study in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between specific service perception scores, such as respect and dignity (86%) versus waiting time (63.2%).
• Model the relationship between demographic factors and overall service quality scores (81.4%) from the user survey.
• Perform thematic analysis on qualitative data from healthcare providers regarding challenges like high staff turnover and limited resources.
• Compare quantitative metrics like discrimination-free care (4.65 ± 0.592) and timely care (3.44 ± 1.125) across different pilot centers.

Strengths

• Survey includes 393 women across 9 pilot health centers.
• Questionnaire demonstrated high reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.915.
• Combines quantitative scores with qualitative focus group data from 18 providers.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small (17.9 KB), containing summary results rather than raw, row-level data.
• Geographic scope is limited to 9 pilot centers in a single country (Jordan).
• Specific survey columns and individual respondent demographics are not provided.
