Dataset of Estonian Nurses’ and Health Sciences Master’s Students’ Self-Perceived Patient Safety Competencies: H-PEPSS Questionnaire

Abstract

The dataset contains self-perceived patient safety competencies of Estonian nurses and health sciences Master’s students, measured with the H‑PEPSS (Health Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey) questionnaire. The sample included all nurses and midwives working in Estonia, as well as Master’s students in health sciences (nursing science) from the University of Tartu and Master’s students in health sciences (nursing and midwifery) from Tallinn and Tartu Health Care Colleges. Responses were collected on a 5-point Likert scale; background variables are included. Data were gathered via an online survey between May and September 2023.

Andmekogu sisaldab Eesti õdede ja terviseteaduste magistrantide enesehinnanguid patsiendiohutuse pädevustele, mõõdetuna H‑PEPSS (Health Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey) küsimustikuga. Valim hõlmas kõiki Eestis töötavaid õdesid ja ämmaemandaid ning Tartu Ülikooli terviseteaduste (õendusteadus) ning Tartu ja Tallinna Tervishoiu Kõrgkoolide terviseteaduste (õendus ja ämmaemandus) magistrante. Vastused on antud 5‑punktilisel Likerti skaalal; lisatud on taustaandmed. Andmed koguti veebiküsitlusega, ajavahemikus mai-september 2023.
