Medical professionalism and occupational well-being: dataset of a Bolivian healthcare institution
Description
Dataset provided was used to prove the following research hypothesis: in adverse working conditions, physicians with higher indicators of professionalism, measured by empathy, teamwork and lifelong learning abilities, are more exposed to suffer occupational stress in their work place. Dataset includes the following variables: items' scores of the Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JSE), the Jefferson Scale of Attitudes towards Physician-Nurse Collaboration (JSAPNC), the Jefferson Scale of Physician’s Lifelong Learning (JeffSPLL), and the scales of somatization, exhaustion and work alienation from the Scale of Collateral Effects (SCE) of the Questionnaire of General Labor Well-being. In addition, the dataset also includes the following information: gender (male, female), age (years), civil status (single, married), family burden (number of family members), specialty, salary (<2000 USD monthly, 2000 USD monthly or more), weekly hours dedicated to clinics, teaching and management activities (until 20 hours per week, more than 20 hours per week). Data were obtained from medical staff of the Hospital de Clinicas (main public hospital of La Paz capital city, Bolivia) before the pandemics of COVID-19 started. Hospital de Clinicas is a public healthcare institution that was officially declared in emergency in 2016 but it is still currently working until now.
