ADHD and autism among nurses
https://doi.org/10.5878/qtsq-8d77
The quantitative dataset and the qualitative interview material were generated within a research project in nursing science focusing on health and well-being at work among nurses with autism and/or ADHD. The data material consists of survey and interview data covering health, well-being, organizational and social work environment, as well as autism and ADHD “symptoms.” Background variables include, among others, diagnosis, age, and gender. Survey data were collected through web-based questionnaires distributed via social media. The dataset consists of a cleaned CSV file and an SAV file. No specific software is required to use the data beyond standard programs capable of reading CSV files. The interview data consist of text documents from individual oral interviews, saved in DOCX format.
