This dataset simply combines publicly available data to characterise a country based on healthcare factors, economy, government and demographics.

Content

All data are given per 100.000 inhabitants where this is appropriate scores are given as absolute values and so are spending and demographics. Each row represents one country. Data that is included covers the following topics:

Healthcare: - Staff including: Nurses and Physicians per 100.000 inhabitants - Infrastructure including: Beds, Chnage of beds between 2018 and 2019 and the change of bed numbers since 2013, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds, ventilators and Extra Corporal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), machines per 100.000 inhabitants - Total spending on healthcare in US dollars per capita.

Demographics: - The median age for entire population and each gender - The percentage of the population within age brackets - Total population - Population per km2 - Population change between 2018 and 2019

Government The used scores are from the Economist intelligence unit and describe how democratic a country is and how the government works. These can be used to compare countries based on their government type.

Acknowledgements

All data is publicly available and just has been brought together in one place. The sources are:

• Population densities

• Populations

• ECMO machines

• Hospital beds

• Number of physicians

• Health expenditure per capita

• Democracy indexes

Inspiration

These data are meant as metadata to decide which countries are comparable. I am working on healthcare data so the inspiration is to compare health statistics between countries and make an informed decision about how comparable they are. Could be used for any non healthcare related task as well.

AbstractBackground Moral injury is an emerging explanation of burnout and suicidality, but remains poorly quantified in at-risk practitioners. We hypothesized that COVID-19 pandemic-related moral injury differs between frontline clinicians, genders, age, and country of practice. Methods We conducted an online cross-sectional survey of international physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, paramedics and respiratory therapists between April and June 2020. We included the adapted version of the Expressions of Moral Injury Scale (EMIS). The primary outcome was differences in moral injury scores between clinician roles. Results Three hundred and two clinicians participated, including physicians (61% [n=184]), nurses (28% [n=85]), and nurse practitioners (5% [n=14]). The median age was 39 (IQR 32-76), females comprised 54% of the respondents, and the majority resided in Canada (n =183 [61%]) or the United States (US; n = 106 [35%]). Emergency medicine (88% [n=265]), and intensive care (6% [n=17]) were the main specialties responding. Median moral injury scores across multiple domains were higher for nurses compared to physicians, as well as for younger, and female respondents. Moral injury scores were also significantly higher for respondents from the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, compared to Canada. Conclusions Our research suggests that during COVID-19, measures of moral injury differ across roles, gender and place of work. Future research is warranted to better understand the impact of moral injury on clinicians’ psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. MethodsThis dataset was collected through the Qualtrics online survey application.

BackgroundAccurate measurement is indispensable for effectively managing hypertension (HTN); any error in technique or instrumentation can lead to misdiagnosis and improper management. Thus, the present study aimed to assess the knowledge and skills of blood pressure (BP) measurement among nurses at a tertiary care cardiac center in Karachi.Materials and methodsNursing staff responsible for BP assessment at various stations were identified, observed, and interviewed to evaluate their skill and knowledge levels regarding BP measurement techniques. Nurses’ skill levels were assessed using a checklist based on the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for BP assessment.ResultsSeventy-five nurses participated in the study, with 49 (65.3%) being male and a mean age of 32.1 ± 6.2 years. Only 25 (33.3%) nurses reported reading the AHA guidelines for BP measurement. None of the nurses demonstrated excellent skills; 19 (25.3%) showed good skills, while 56 (74.7%) showed poor skills in BP measurement. A poor compliance was observed on a total of 14/31 steps with compliance rate of less than 50%. Similarly, none of the nurses exhibited excellent knowledge; only 3 (4%) had good knowledge, while 72 (96%) had poor knowledge about BP measurement. A poor knowledge was observed on a total of 18/36 items with correct response rate of less than 50%.ConclusionNurses working at various stations of a tertiary cardiac center exhibited inadequate skills and knowledge regarding BP measurement. This underscores the necessity for comprehensive training and education to enhance the accurate assessment of BP.
