This dataset was collected within the REHA-KNOWS (Rehabilitation facilities' research needs and knowledge transfer in Southwest Germany) study investigating research needs, attitudes and barriers towards health services research and knowledge transfer strategies. From March to May 2023, we surveyed representatives of rehabilitation facilities in two German Federal States (Baden-Wuerttemberg and Saarland) using an online questionnaire, which is published within this record. The survey language was German, however, we translated all material into English. The full dataset contains n=88 responses from 74 rehabilitation facilitites. Due to data protection law, we had to prepare this dataset for publication to avoid de-anonymisation of subjects. Therefore, two variables in the dataset slightly deviate from the original questionnaire: For question No. 3, we created an aggregated variable containing information for each original code that was selected 5 times or less. The variable "size" is an aggregated variable from question No. 6. In some rare cases, open answers, where combination of variables might lead to an identification of subjects, were changed. Those changes are marked with brackets: [...].

Dataset, variable labels and questionnaire are provided in English. Text answers to open questions might be in German.
