Data of Safety attitudes in General Practice Nurses
Description
This study aimed to investigate the safety attitudes of general practice nurses (GPNs). Data analysis was conducted to examine the effects of demographic factors—such as length of work experience and the number of general practitioners (GPs) or GPNs in the practice—on safety attitudes. The findings indicated a positive relationship between safety attitudes and length of work experience and a negative relationship between safety attitudes and the number of GPs or GPNs in the practice. These relationships were measured using ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis H test. Question 11 was administered only to participants who responded with 'Strongly Agree' or 'Agree a little' to Question 10. Responses to Question 10 were divided into 'Positive' and 'Negative' groups, and the impact of regular operational meetings on safety attitudes was analysed using a T-test. Additionally, open-ended questions were employed to identify the safety-related concerns faced by GPNs and their needs regarding current practices. Data collection was conducted via a questionnaire comprising 34 items on a 5-point Likert scale and 8 open-ended questions. Quantitative data were analysed using SPSS, whilst qualitative data were analysed using NVivo.

Steps to reproduce
1. Quantitative Data File The quantitative data file (Quantitative Raw Data_Safety attitudes in General Practice Nurses.xlsx) contains responses to demographic items and the results of the 34-item safety attitudes questionnaire. This file represents raw data, meaning that responses to demographic items have not been grouped. Details regarding how these items were grouped are presented in Table 1 of the manuscript. 2. Qualitative Data File The qualitative data file (Qualitative Raw Data_Safety attitudes in General Practice Nurses.xlsx) contains responses to the eight open-ended questions included in the questionnaire. The dataset has been organised into seven sheets, each corresponding to a specific theme. The sheet titles include the theme names and the related questionnaire questions. The data provided is raw, with no corrections made to typographical errors. 3. Coded Data File The third file (Open-ended question Coded data.nvp) contains the results of coding conducted using NVivo 15.0. Theme 2 includes two separate datasets. As the analysis in this study was performed at the sentence level, the number of responses may differ from the number of coding references. Additionally, in some cases, the number of references may not correspond precisely to the actual count. Therefore, it is recommended to click on the individual responses in NVivo for a more accurate review. 4. Codebook File The fourth file (Qualitative Data_ Codebook.xlsx) is a codebook for the qualitative data, organised by theme. It includes the theme name, questionnaire question, code name, description, number of each code, and number of responses. The description provides insight into the criteria used for coding. Each code includes child codes, which represent subcategories under the parent code. For precise counts of child codes, please refer to File 3. For codes with multiple child codes, only the number of parent codes has been included in the table. The number of responses reflects the count of answers incorporated into the manuscript. These are highlighted in bold for ease of reference.
