Romanian healthcare professionals' perceptions of equipment and infrastructure in Anesthesia and Intensive Care Units. The dataset contains survey responses from 109 participants (52.3% nurses, 22.9% ICU specialists) collected via a 20-item online questionnaire between 4 and 28 November 2024. It was authored by Gabriel-Petre Gorecki and published under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Compare perceived adequacy of technological infrastructure between public and private hospitals based on survey ratings.
• Analyze correlations between equipment quality, safety perception, and staff motivation as reported in the results.
• Identify reported challenges like staff shortages and uneven protocol implementation for organizational analysis.
• Examine priorities for improvement, such as investment in equipment and continuous training, across different professional roles.

Strengths

• Survey includes 109 respondents with defined professional roles (52.3% nurses, 22.9% ICU specialists).
• Data collection period is precisely defined (4-28 November 2024).
• Results include specific statistical test values (χ² = 3.03, p = 0.553, Cramér's V = 0.17).

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The authors note a limited sample size and a perception-based, cross-sectional design, advising cautious interpretation.
• Dataset is very small (17.6 KB), indicating limited scope and likely a summary or document rather than raw response data.
