Questionnaire on Assessment of Paediatric Drug Shortages in Primary Health Care in Osun State, Nigeria

The data comprises items from a questionnaire used in a cross-sectional survey assessing essential paediatric drug shortages in primary health care centres in Osun State, Nigeria. The instrument consists of five sections, tabbed A through E. Section A comprises a ten-item demographic data which seeks to elicit information on the general demographic characteristics of the participants. Section B seeks information on paediatric drug classes affected by drug shortages on a five-point scale of the frequency in which they are affected including (1) Never (Nev) = Never occurred before (2) Rarely (Rar) = Occurs about once every 3 months (3) Sometimes(Som) = Occurs about once every other month (4) Often (Oft) = about once within a month, and (5) Always (Alw) implying ‘At least once within 2 weeks’. The third section, C, seeks information on the causes of paediatric drug shortages in primary health care on a scale of VL = Very Low influence (1), L = Low influence (2), MoI = Moderate influence (3), H = High influence (4), VH = Very High influence (5). The fourth section, D, seeks information on the effect of drug shortages paediatric drug shortages on a scale consisting of (1) I can’t say = ICS; (2) No Effect = (NoE); (3) Little Effect (LiE); (4) Moderate Effect (ME) and (5) Large Effect (LaE) while the last, Section E seeks information on the Strategies for preventing paediatric drug shortages in primary health care on a five-point Likert type scale of importance namely (1) I can’t say = ICS; (2) Not Important = NI; (3) Slightly Important =SI; (4) Important = I; and (5) Very Important = VI.

本数据集源自一项用于评估尼日利亚奥孙州基层医疗卫生机构儿科必需药品短缺情况的横断面调查所用问卷。本次调研问卷共分为A至E五个模块。模块A包含10个条目，用于收集受访者的基本人口统计学特征信息。模块B聚焦于受短缺影响的儿科药品类别，采用5级频率量表进行调研，量表选项如下：(1) 从未发生(Nev)：此前从未出现短缺；(2) 极少发生(Rar)：约每3个月出现1次；(3) 有时发生(Som)：约每2个月出现1次；(4) 经常发生(Oft)：约每月出现1次；(5) 频繁发生(Alw)：指每2周内至少出现1次。第三模块（模块C）用于调研基层医疗卫生机构儿科药品短缺的成因，采用5级影响程度量表：VL=极低影响(1)、L=低影响(2)、MoI=中等影响(3)、H=高影响(4)、VH=极高影响(5)。第四模块（模块D）用于调研儿科药品短缺所带来的影响，采用如下5分量表：(1) 无法表态(ICS)；(2) 无影响(NoE)；(3) 轻微影响(LiE)；(4) 中等影响(ME)；(5) 严重影响(LaE)。最后一个模块（模块E）用于调研基层医疗卫生机构儿科药品短缺的预防策略，采用5级李克特重要性量表：(1) 无法表态(ICS)；(2) 不重要(NI)；(3) 略微重要(SI)；(4) 重要(I)；(5) 非常重要(VI)。
