demographic and background variables - performance

The dataset generated and analyzed during the current study was collected at the University of Debrecen, Faculty of Medicine, in May 2024. It comprises anonymized questionnaire responses and simulator performance data from 82 medical students (1st–6th year) who participated voluntarily in the da Vinci Skills Simulator (dVSS) assessment. The dataset includes demographic and background variables (e.g., academic year, gender, handedness, and hobbies requiring manual dexterity) as well as machine-recorded performance indicators (overall score, efficiency, and penalty scores) obtained during the “Sea Spikes 1” (EndoWrist) task. Due to ethical and privacy considerations, the dataset is not publicly available; however, de-identified data may be made available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request and with permission from the Regional and Institutional Research Ethics Committee of the Clinical Centre of the University of Debrecen (approval number: DE RKEB/IKEB: 6775-2024).
