Self-Leadership and Associated Factors in Nursing Students

This dataset includes the raw data which its article published on Nurse Educator, titled "Self-Leadership and Associated Factors in Nursing Students: An Explanatory Sequential Mixed-Methods Study" (DOI:10.1097/NNE.0000000000001762). The research questions and findings can be found in the published article. As intended, the raw dataset is made public after its publication as an article.

The dataset comprises raw data derived from an extensive nationwide online survey distributed through two nursing student NGOs. The survey was conducted between June 2020 and Arpil 2022, involving 943 nursing students in Türkiye. Its objective was to assess self-leadership perceptions and the influencing factors among nursing students. The original dataset was in Turkish. To enhance accessibility, it was translated into English along with corresponding codifications.

The survey covered the following key dimensions:

• Assessment of nursing students' self-leadership perceptions, with the utilization of Houghton and Neck's Revised Self-Leadership Questionnaire (RSLQ).
• Compilation of descriptive attributes characterizing the nursing students, encompassing variables such as age, gender, place of residence, income level, grade, overall grade point average (GPA), and employment status.
• Diverse facets including previous participation in leadership or management training courses, affiliation with student clubs or non-governmental organizations (NGOs), assumption of managerial roles, involvement in scientific endeavors, and delineation of career aspirations.

In our research, an examination of the normal distribution was undertaken utilizing the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, based on the available dataset. The quantitative data analysis encompassed the utilization of various statistical parameters such as percentages, frequencies, means, medians, standard deviations, and minimum-maximum values. These parameters were applied to ascertain the descriptive attributes of the student cohort as well as the scale scores. Additionally, a comparative assessment of scale scores across distinct groups was carried out through the application of the Mann Whitney U test. To assess potential associations, the Spearman correlation coefficient was employed to investigate the interplay between age, the quantity of scientific activities undertaken, and the resultant scale scores. The predetermined threshold for statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.

本数据集收录了发表于《护理教育者》杂志，题为《护理学生中的自我领导及其相关因素：一项解释性序列混合方法研究》（DOI:10.1097/NNE.0000000000001762）的原始数据。研究问题及发现可于已发表的论文中查阅。依照既定意图，在论文发表之后，原始数据集亦公开共享。该数据集源自一项在全国范围内进行的广泛在线调查，该调查通过两家护理学生非政府组织（NGO）进行分发。调查时间介于2020年6月至2022年4月，共涉及土耳其943名护理学生。其研究目标在于评估护理学生对于自我领导的认识及其影响因素。原始数据集以土耳其语呈现。为了提高其可及性，数据集已被翻译成英语，并附有相应的编码。调查涵盖了以下关键维度：

• 利用霍顿和内克修订的自我领导问卷（RSLQ）评估护理学生的自我领导认识。
• 编制描述护理学生的特征属性，包括年龄、性别、居住地、收入水平、年级、平均成绩点（GPA）和就业状况等变量。
• 多方面的考察，包括先前参与领导或管理培训课程的经历、与学生俱乐部或非政府组织（NGO）的联系、担任管理角色的经历、参与科学研究的活动以及职业生涯规划的界定。

在研究中，基于可用的数据集，我们进行了正态分布的检验，采用科尔莫哥洛夫-斯米尔诺夫检验。定量数据分析涵盖了各种统计参数，如百分比、频率、均值、中位数、标准差和极值等，以确定学生群体的描述性属性以及量表分数。此外，通过应用曼-惠特尼U检验，对不同群体间的量表分数进行了比较评估。为了评估潜在的关联，我们使用了斯皮尔曼相关系数来研究年龄、参与科学活动的数量以及结果量表分数之间的相互作用。统计显著性预设阈值为p < 0.05。
