Data of Nurses/Midwives' Personality Traits and Work Experience in Patient Safety

This study aimed to address the following research questions:
1. Do the safety attitudes of nurses and midwives correlate with any or all of the following personality traits: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness?
2. Are the safety attitudes of nurses and midwives influenced by their length of work experience, work setting, or attended undergraduate programs?
3. Is there a relationship between the personality traits and safety attitudes of student nurses/midwives and nurses/midwives?

The study utilized a questionnaire divided into three sections: Demographic Information, Personality Traits, and Safety Attitudes.
Different demographic questions were given to postgraduate nurses/midwives and undergraduate student nurses/midwives. The Personality Traits section included 44 questions covering Extraversion (8 questions), Agreeableness (9 questions), Conscientiousness (9 questions), Neuroticism (8 questions), and Openness (10 questions). The Safety Attitudes section comprised 34 questions categorized into four sub-groups: Understanding of job roles, Teamwork in Emergencies, Overall Importance of Effective Teamwork and Communication, and the Importance of Clear Communication within the Nursing/Midwifery Team. Both personality traits and safety attitudes were assessed using a 5-point Likert scale (1: Disagree Strongly, 2: Disagree a Little, 3: Neither Agree nor Disagree, 4: Agree a Little, 5: Agree Strongly).
