Dataset for "Drama-Based Simulations in First Aid Education: Psychometric Validation of the SPRS-S in School Settings"

This dataset contains the anonymized raw data supporting the findings of the study “Drama-Based Simulations in First Aid Education: Psychometric Validation of a Student Assessment Tool in School Settings,” published in Frontiers in Public Health (2026). The data were collected from 332 students aged 10–16 years who participated in school-based first aid training sessions in Greece. The dataset includes responses to the Greek-adapted version of the Standardized Patient Performance Rating Scale – Student Version (SPRS-S), demographic variables (gender, grade level), and grouping variables used for psychometric analyses. The data were used to conduct exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, reliability testing (Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega), measurement invariance analysis, and clustering using a metaheuristic optimization algorithm. All data are fully anonymized and contain no personally identifiable information.
