DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA

Mixed method data were collected on the topic of intra-work break taking. 
The data were undertaken in two chronological phases: 
1) Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak (the pre-pandemic phase 1) and 
2) after the Covid-19 outbreak (phase 2).
 
In both phases quantitative surveys preceded qualitative follow-up interviews. 

Software required to view the data: software that reads txt and csv files, Microsoft Word. 

This dataset contains:
Both quantitative and qualitative data for two phases of data collection (pre-pandemic and post-pandemic outbreak). 
The quantitative survey data for both phases are openly available. 
The data has been de-identified and anonymised as far as possible. However, due to potential risk of participant re-identification through in-depth participant narratives, the qualitative data are available on request to bone fide researchers only.

Date of data collection: 2019-2021

Information about geographic location of data collection: 
Phase 1 data were collected from doctors working in the Hampshire region. 
Phase 2 data were collected from a subset of the doctors from phase 1 as well as a cohort of doctors who graduated from their medical studies at the University of Southampton in 2019 and who were, at the time of data collection, living across the UK.
