Return to Full Duty Work: Determining the Ideal Time to Refer Occupationally Isolated Acute Low Back Pain Patients to Physical Therapy

Stephenson, Aletha Mae 01 January 2016 (has links)
Employees who develop and report nontraumatic acute low back pain that occurs while performing work duties, or shortly thereafter, are classified as having occupational isolated acute low back pain (OIALBP). The purpose of this project was to identify and implement an evidence- based time frame to refer occupational isolated acute low back pain patients (OIALBPPs) to physical therapy (PT) that returns them to full duty work (FDW) more quickly. The diffusion of innovation theory aided the project leader and health care providers to develop strategies to overcome barriers in implementing the project's results into the practice. A total of 932 medical records of OIALBPPs who presented to the organization from 2009 through 2015 were retrieved and abstracted by the organization's occupational health providers. The project leader analyzed the data and identified the best time frame to refer their OIALBPPs to PT. A t test, Chi-square, and an Analysis of Variance were used in the data analysis. The results were employed to design and construct tables in Excel. Early PT is defined as a PT initial evaluation that occurs < 10 days after back pain onset. A significant (p < 0.001) difference of 13.5 days between early and delayed PT groups was identified. Significant differences persisted when evaluated by sex, age bracket, occupational group, and incidence of failure to return to FDW. In conclusion, OIALBPPs who receive early PT return to FDW nearly 2 weeks sooner than do those who delay PT. Early PT may reduce health care cost, reduce lost employee income, increase productivity, increase company revenue, and lower insurance costs. Referring OIALBPPs to PT early may lower the economic burden placed on health care budgets and society as a whole.

Absenteeism in an International Custom Software Engineering Company

Mudek, Jennifer M. 01 January 2016 (has links)
Absenteeism has a negative impact on organizational output in the form of lost productivity and profit reduction for software engineering companies. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive case study was to explore the strategies that software engineering managers utilize for reducing absenteeism. The theory of planned behavior formed the conceptual framework for this study. Data were collected through semistructured interviews from a purposeful sample of 11 managers at an international custom software engineering company. Data collection also included organizational data on employee absences for the past 5 years (2011-2015), e-mail memos, newsletters, employee handbook, and employee performance reviews. Based on methodological triangulation of the data sources and inductive analysis of the data, 4 themes emerged. Emergent themes from the analysis revealed that communication was key to reducing absenteeism, flexible work hours and working from home reduced absence, comradery and employee support positively impacted absenteeism, and that there was a lack of a clear and formal processes for addressing employee absenteeism. These findings suggest that, at this company, an absenteeism reduction strategy could help reduce employee absenteeism to lessen the negative impact on organizational productivity and profitability. These findings may contribute to social change by providing a template for effective absenteeism reduction strategies that managers can use to promote a decreased incidence of absenteeism, organizational profitability, reduction of the unemployment rate, employee stress, and mental health problems.

Prevalência de sintomas musculoesqueléticos e incapacidades associadas e o presenteísmo no trabalho de enfermagem / Prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms and associated disability and presenteeism in the nursing work

Santos, Heloisa Ehmke Cardoso dos 14 September 2016 (has links)
As doenças musculoesqueléticas representam a maior causa de limitação funcional entre a população adulta. Elas podem estar associadas às atividades ocupacionais, ser influenciadas por fatores culturais e psicossociais, causam sofrimento excessivo, incapacidades para o trabalhador, custos e ausência de produtividade. Objetivo: Identificar as prevalências de sintomas musculoesqueléticos e incapacidades associadas em profissionais de enfermagem e sua associação ao presenteísmo no trabalho de enfermagem. Método: Estudo longitudinal com abordagem quantitativa dos dados, realizado em um hospital universitário do interior do estado de São Paulo. A amostra foi composta por 348 trabalhadores de enfermagem (enfermeiros, auxiliares e técnicos de enfermagem). As variáveis estudadas foram: características sociodemográficas, atividades físicas no trabalho, aspectos psicossociais, sintomas musculoesqueléticos, incapacidades para tarefas diárias comuns, saúde mental, crenças e presenteísmo. Os instrumentos utilizados para a coleta de dados foram: Pesquisa Internacional sobre as Influências Físicas, Culturais e Psicossociais nos Sintomas Musculoesqueléticos e Incapacidades Associadas - CUPID Questionnaire e a Stanford Presenteeism Scale - SPS-6, ambos traduzidos e validados para uso no Brasil. Os dados foram coletados em 2015 em duas etapas: na primeira foi utilizado o questionário base do CUPID Questionnaire e a SPS-6, na segunda o questionário de acompanhamento e o questionário sobre informações básicas do grupo estudado, ambos do CUPID Questionnaire. A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio da estatística descritiva, porcentuais, testes estatísticos e análise de regressão. O projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (protocolo CAAE: 37430614.0.0000.5393). Resultados: A maioria dos participantes do estudo foi mulheres, auxiliares de enfermagem e apresentavam idade média de 42,3 anos na primeira etapa e 42,51 anos na segunda. Dentre os sintomas musculoesqueléticos, a dor lombar foi a mais referida e a que mais ocasionou incapacidades nas duas etapas do estudo, sendo que as atividades cortar as unhas dos pés e realizar tarefas domésticas foram as mais prevalentes. Dos 211 participantes, 74,9% referiram o presenteísmo, além disso, o estudo identificou que as mulheres e os técnicos de enfermagem apresentaram menores escores com relação ao presenteísmo total. A dor lombar foi a que obteve menor pontuação na escala do presenteísmo de acordo com a análise de regressão. Conclusão: os sintomas musculoesqueléticos foram prevalentes e ocasionaram incapacidades para o trabalhador. O presenteísmo atingiu um elevado número de profissionais, está associado às dores musculoesqueléticas e os escores indicaram redução no desempenho do trabalho com relação à concentração mantida e trabalho finalizado. Outros estudos devem ser elaborados para ampliar o conhecimento científico e subsidiar o planejamento de ações preventivas, visando à melhora das condições de trabalho e da qualidade de vida dos profissionais de enfermagem / Musculoskeletal diseases are the major cause of functional limitation among adults. They may be associated with occupational activities, be influenced by cultural and psychosocial factors, it causes excessive suffering, incapacity for work, costs and loss of productivity. Objective: To identify the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms and disabilities associated with nursing workers and their association to presenteeism in the nursing work. Method: Longitudinal study with quantitative approach, it was conducted in a university hospital in the state of São Paulo. The sample consisted of 348 nursing workers (nurses, nursing assistants and nursing technicians). The variables studied were: sociodemographic characteristics, physical activity at work, psychosocial aspects, musculoskeletal symptoms, disability to activities of daily living, mental health, beliefs and presenteeism. The instruments used for data collection were: Cultural Study of Musculoskeletal and Other Symptoms and Associated Disability-CUPID Questionnaire and Stanford Presenteeism Scale - SPS-6, both translated and validated for use in Brazil. Data were collected in 2015 in two stages: the first was used the baseline questionnaire-CUPID Questionnaire and the SPS-6, in the second follow-up questionnaire and the questionnaire background information on cohort, both the CUPID Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, percentages, statistical tests and regression analysis. The project was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Ribeirão Preto School of Nursing, University of São Paulo (CAAE protocol: 37430614.0.0000.5393). Results: Most of the study participants were women, nursing assistants and the mean age was 42.3 years in the first stage and 42.51 years in the second. Among the musculoskeletal symptoms, back pain was the most reported and that most caused disabilities in both phases of the study and the activities like, to cut toe nails and to do household tasks were the most prevalent. Of the 211 participants, 74.9% reported presenteeism, in addition, the study found that women and nursing technicians had lower scores to total presenteeism. Back pain was the lowest score in presenteeism scale according to regression analysis. Conclusion: musculoskeletal symptoms were prevalent and caused incapacity for work. The presenteeism reached a large number of workers are associated with musculoskeletal pain and the scores indicated a decrease in work performance in relation to the concentration and finished work. Other studies should be designed to increase the scientific knowledge and to subsidize the planning of preventive actions, aiming at the improvement of working conditions and quality of life of nursing professionals

Occupational stress in a higher education institution / Frans Frederick Mostert

Mostert, Frans Frederick January 2006 (has links)
Higher educational institutions no longer provide the low-stress and highly satisfying working environment they once did. Higher educational institutions experience significant changes, which include restructuring, reduction of state subsidy and use of short-term contracts. Therefore, the changes in the higher educational environment can have costly implications for institutions in terms of staff morale, turnover and absenteeism rates and could also lead to reduced employee performance, poor quality control and a fall in production. It therefore becomes increasingly important for higher educational institutions to intervene to reduce the occupational stress of university staff. The objectives of this study were to determine the occupational stressors for support staff at a higher education institution in the North West Province, to investigate the relationship between occupational stress, ill health, organisational commitment and important organisational outcomes (including absenteeism, productivity and turnover intention) and to assess the financial implications of these factors in a sample of support staff at a higher education institution in the North West Province. A cross-sectional survey design was used. The study population consisted of support staff at a higher education institution in the North West Province (N = 292). An Organisational Screening Tool (ASSET) and a biographical questionnaire were administered. Descriptive statistics, Pearson and Spearman correlations, multiple regression analyses and discriminant analysis were used to analyse the results. The results showed that, compared to normative data, support staff overall demonstrated average levels of occupational stress. However, job control, resources, communication and work relationships were found to be problematic stressors which mainly influenced organisational commitment to the organisation. The prediction of losses suffered by the higher educational institution due to absenteeism, presenteeism and turnover intention indicate that occupational stress cost organisations greatly. Recommendations were made for the organisation and for future research. / Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2007.

A new tool to measure the relationship between health-related quality of life and workforce productivity

Huang, David Tien 19 May 2008 (has links)
Quality of life and productivity are two important measures in health outcomes that usually require the use of self-reported surveys for accurate assessment. Measuring health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has been established as an important field in the past century, and many psychometrically validated instruments exist for both general and specific population use. Another health measure that has attracted a significant amount of attention in recent years, although there is no gold standard, is that of workforce productivity. Most productivity studies measure the amount of work loss incurred by employees in the form of absenteeism and presenteeism. A new survey that combines questions from existing HRQOL and workforce productivity surveys, the Health-Related Quality of Life and Work Productivity Questionnaire (HQWP), was constructed and tested using a descriptive, cross-sectional study of faculty and staff at a major research university. As expected, HRQOL and work loss were found to be negatively correlated. In addition, staff were found to have statistically higher levels of absenteeism than faculty, but faculty had higher levels of presenteeism. Using multivariate regression models on several measures of productivity, including both absenteeism and presenteeism, we concluded that mental health measures were stronger predictors of productivity than physical health measures for our overall sample, as well as faculty and staff groups separately. In addition, those who work extra hours to make up for lost production had significantly lower social function scores compared to those who do not. Other statistical analyses performed include PCA factor analyses on presenteeism covariates. Lastly, we performed economics analyses on the cost savings that could be achieved through health management programs to reduce absenteeism and presenteeism levels. A better understanding of reasons for absenteeism and presenteeism could help inform targeted workplace programs to reduce employer indirect costs related to lost productivity. Moreover, such programs could reduce rates of turnover due to increased employee satisfaction, as well as improve both quantity and quality of life years.

Absenteísmo e presenteísmo por doença em trabalhadores da população geral da grande São Paulo / Absenteeism and presenteeism due to common physical and mental conditions in a sample of workers from the metropolitan area of São Paulo

Marcos José Campello Baptista 18 September 2018 (has links)
Doenças crônicas e transtornos psiquiátricos causam carga para a sociedade e estão associados a custos diretos e indiretos, os quais são arcados pelos governos, pessoas físicas e empresas. Do ponto de vista macroeconômico, a saúde da população é um dos determinantes da produtividade e do desenvolvimento econômico. Para atingir um crescimento sustentado, o Brasil precisa aumentar a produtividade dos trabalhadores, que entre outros fatores depende da saúde dos trabalhadores. Para os empregadores, o crescimento dos custos com assistência médica pode representar um importante custo operacional, mas não representa todo o impacto econômico relacionado com a saúde. Diversos estudos mostram que o custo total de saúde engloba também as perdas de produtividade, seja por dias de afastamento do trabalho (absenteísmo) e pela redução da produtividade do trabalhador que comparece ao trabalho, mas não desempenha plenamente suas tarefas por problemas de saúde (presenteísmo). Na literatura médica, vários trabalhos mostram a relação entre doenças físicas e transtornos mentais com a redução da produtividade por absenteísmo e presenteísmo. No Brasil, diversos estudos mostram a relação entre doenças e absenteísmo, mas poucos estudaram o presenteísmo. O objetivo deste estudo é determinar a relação entre doenças físicas e mentais com a redução da produtividade por absenteísmo e presenteísmo em uma amostra de trabalhadores da população geral, com 18 anos ou mais, residente na região metropolitana de São Paulo. Esta pesquisa é parte do subprojeto de saúde e produtividade do estudo \"São Paulo Megacity - Pesquisa sobre saúde, bem estar e estresse\", desenvolvido pelo Núcleo de Epidemiologia Psiquiátrica, do Instituto de Psiquiatria do Hospital das Clínicas, da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, entre maio de 2005 a maio de 2007. Para avaliação de transtornos mentais, foi utilizada a versão traduzida para o português do Composite International Diagnostic Interview, versão para o World Mental Health Survey, estudo multicêntrico da Organização Mundial da Saúde (WMHCIDI), fazendo diagnósticos de acordo com o Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Doenças Mentais - 4ª Edição e a Classificação Internacional de Doenças - 10ª Revisão. A avaliação de doenças físicas foi realizada por um questionário padronizado desenvolvido pela Universidade de Harvard para essa finalidade e validado em diversos estudos que mostraram boa concordância com diagnósticos médicos. O absenteísmo e o presenteísmo autorreferidos foram mensurados pela versão em português do WHODAS 2.0 (World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule). O projeto foi desenvolvido de agosto de 2014 a abril de 2018 utilizando o banco de dados da pesquisa São Paulo Megacity, considerando uma subamostra de 1.737 entrevistados, que responderam a todos os questionários anteriormente citados e encontravam-se empregados no momento da pesquisa. A estatística descritiva mostrou os dados demográficos, a prevalência das doenças físicas crônicas e dos transtornos mentais, a distribuição das perdas de produtividade por absenteísmo, presenteísmo e total de dias perdidos e o número de dias perdidos por absenteísmo, presenteísmo e total de dias perdidos, comparando os respondentes que apresentam com e sem as patologias de interesse. Modelos de regressão logística foram utilizados para examinar a força da associação entre doenças e transtornos e absenteísmo, presenteísmo e algum dia com redução de produtividade. Os resultados mostraram que as doenças físicas e os transtornos mentais são altamente prevalentes entre os trabalhadores brasileiros. A prevalência de absenteísmo foi 12,8% e do presenteísmo foi 14,3% para redução quantitativa, 12,9% para redução quantitativa e 13,9% para esforço extremo. O número médio de dias perdidos por absenteísmo foi 1,5 dias. A média de dias com presenteísmo foi 1,4 com redução quantitativa, 1,4 com redução qualitativa e 1,7 com esforço extremo. As doenças físicas associadas a mais dias de absenteísmo foram insônia, diabetes e artrite. Cefaleia/enxaqueca, dor crônica (cervical/lombar) e distúrbios digestivos foram associados a mais dias de presenteísmo. Os transtornos mentais associados a mais dias de absenteísmo e presenteísmo foram transtornos do humor e do controle dos impulsos. Cefaleia/enxaqueca e transtornos de humor foram associados a um risco significativamente maior de absenteísmo, redução quantitativa, redução qualitativa, esforço extremo e algum dia com redução de produtividade. Transtornos de ansiedade foram associados ao absenteísmo e a algum dia com redução de produtividade. Dor crônica (cervical/lombar) foi associada a absenteísmo, redução quantitativa e redução qualitativa. Os transtornos de humor apresentaram o maior número de dias perdidos em todas as formas de redução de produtividade mensuradas e as maiores razões de chances em todas as formas de redução de produtividade mensuradas. Os achados deste estudo servem para que o impacto da saúde na produtividade do trabalhador brasileiro seja considerado por aqueles que tomam as decisões em políticas de saúde pública e de saúde corporativa. Para os gestores da saúde pública, amplia a importância do diagnóstico e do tratamento dos transtornos mentais comuns no SUS. Para os profissionais que atuam com a saúde do trabalhador no Brasil, justifica-se a ampliação da atuação da área de saúde ocupacional nas empresas, ao incluir o impacto da saúde na produtividade, somando-se à tradicional abordagem prevencionista. Para os gestores de saúde corporativa, fica demonstrado que o investimento na saúde dos trabalhadores não se trata apenas de uma questão ética, legal ou de custo com assistência médica, trata-se também de uma oportunidade de aumentar a produtividade. A observação de que, em comparação com estudos internacionais, os transtornos mentais em trabalhadores brasileiros apresentam uma maior prevalência e um maior impacto em produtividade possui implicações para todos os envolvidos com saúde do trabalhador no país. Para o Governo, há a possibilidade da elaboração de uma legislação específica sobre saúde mental e trabalho. Profissionais de saúde ocupacional devem atuar na identificação e controle dos fatores de risco relacionados com o trabalho, com promoção da saúde mental, identificação precoce e garantia de assistência adequada. Entidades representativas dos trabalhadores podem atuar na negociação de avanços no tema. Universidades devem participar com o desenvolvimento de pesquisas e formação dos profissionais da área de saúde mental e trabalho / Role-functioning impairment due to medical conditions is a major source of human capital loss and has high economic relevance. From the macroeconomic point of view, population health is an important determinant of workforce productivity and economic development. To achieve sustained growth, Brazil must increase worker productivity, which among other factors depends on the health of the workforce. For employers, rising healthcare costs have a significant impact on business profitability but do they not represent all health-related costs. Several studies show that the total cost of worker health also includes productivity losses and encompasses absenteeism and presenteeism. Numerous international studies have shown the association between health conditions and reduced worker productivity. In Brazil, several studies have shown the relationship between illness and absenteeism, but few have assessed presenteeism. This study describes the association of common medical conditions with absenteeism and presenteeism in a population-based sample of workers in São Paulo Metropolitan Area. Data for this study was from the cross-sectional São Paulo Megacity Mental Health Survey. This included face-to-face interviews conducted on 1,737 employed household residents aged > 18 years old. We analyzed data for four non-psychotic mental disorders (mood, anxiety, substance use and impulse-control disorders) using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI 3.0) and eight chronic physical conditions with a questionnaire. The presence of physical and mental conditions was determined for the 12 prior month period. The role functioning dimension of the WHO-Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS II) was used to assess the number of days in the past month in which respondents were fully or partially able to perform daily activities. Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the strength of association between these medical conditions and absenteeism and presenteeism. Productivity loss associated with physical and mental conditions is highly prevalent among Brazilian workers. The prevalence of absenteeism was 12.8%. The prevalence of presenteeism was 14.3% for quantitative reduction, 12.9% for quantitative reduction and 13.9% for extreme effort. The mean absenteeism was 1.5 days. The mean work cutback days was 1.4, qualitative reduction 1.4 and extreme effort was 1.7. The physical conditions associated with greater absenteeism included insomnia, diabetes and arthritis. Headache/migraine, chronic pain (neck/back) and digestive disorders were associated with greater presenteeism. The mental disorders associated to greater absenteeism and presenteeism were mood and impulse-control disorders. Headache/migraine and mood disorders were associated with a significantly higher risk of absenteeism, quantitative reduction, qualitative reduction, extreme effort and any day with reduced productivity. Anxiety disorders were associated with absenteeism and any day with reduced productivity. Chronic pain was associated with a significantly higher risk of absenteeism, quantitative reduction, qualitative reduction and any day with reduced productivity. Mood disorder had the greatest absenteeism, and the higher odds ratio of lost productive days. The findings of this research have several implications. For public health managers, the present study reinforces the importance of diagnosis and treatment of common mental disorders in the Brazilian Public Health System. For occupational health professionals, a health and productivity population health strategy is justified in Brazil. For corporate health managers, investing in workers\' health is not just an ethical, legal and healthcare issue, it is an opportunity to increase worker productivity and benefit the financial bottom line of the corporation. The finding that, in comparison to international studies, mental disorders in Brazilian workers have a higher prevalence and a greater impact on productivity has implications for all those involved with worker\'s health in Brazil. Occupational health professionals should develop and implement strategies to reduce work-related health risk factors, offer mental health and stress management programs, and offer evidenced based condition management programs. Union trades should negotiate enhanced workplace based mental health services. Universities should conduct research on the most effective strategies that address lost productivity associated with medical and mental health conditions

Leva a uma diminuição da produtividade, podendo impactar ainda mais o processo de trabalho do que o absenteísmo. Na enfermagem, o presenteísmo pode trazer sérias consequências à organização do trabalho, comprometendo a saúde dos trabalhadores e a assistência prestada. Foram traçados como objetivos: geral: Descrever o presenteísmo e analisar sua associação com fatores ocupacionais e com as condições de saúde entre os trabalhadores de enfermagem de um Hospital Universitário em Juiz de Fora- MG; específicos: Traduzir para o português brasileiro, adaptar culturalmente e avaliar as propriedades psicométricas, a confiabilidade e a validade do instrumento utilizado para mensurar o presenteísmo: Stanford Presenteeism Scale (SPS-6); identificar a prevalência de presenteísmo entre os trabalhadores de enfermagem; avaliar fatores ocupacionais associados ao presenteísmo entre os trabalhadores de enfermagem e testar a associação entre o presenteísmo e as condições de saúde autorreferida da equipe de enfermagem. Desenvolveu-se um estudo seccional com 271 trabalhadores de enfermagem. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de questionário-entrevista aplicado por entrevistadores no período de agosto e setembro de 2011. O questionário foi constituído de parte adaptada do instrumento já testado e validado em pesquisa realizada no Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Fiocruz, da versão reduzida da “Escala de Esforço e Recompensa” e do “Stanford Presenteeism Scale” (SPS-6). O processo de adaptação do SPS-6 incluiu seis aspectos de equivalência (conceitual, semântica, operacional, de itens, de medida e funcional). As análises tomaram por base um estudo de confiabilidade teste-reteste realizado em subamostra de 50 trabalhadores do estudo principal. Os resultados sugerem adequação do instrumento na sua versão em português brasileiro, indicando seu uso no contexto da população de estudo e em populações semelhantes. Os principais motivos do presenteísmo descritos foram: a ausência sobrecarrega os colegas e a ausência compromete a assistência prestada. Os agravos de saúde que mais afetaram o desempenho dos trabalhadores foram cefaleia/enxaqueca; alergias, asma, rinite; problemas intestinais e estomacais e problemas de coluna. Entre as variáveis sociodemográficas, a idade esteve associada ao presenteísmo, sendo os trabalhadores com idade até 40 anos os que apresentaram maior queda de desempenho. Quanto às variáveis ocupacionais, identificou-se associação entre o presenteísmo com o desejo em abandonar a enfermagem, o esforço e o excesso de comprometimento. Aqueles com estado de saúde regular/ruim foram os que mais apresentaram o presenteísmo, sendo ainda identificado associação entre o absenteísmo por doença e o presenteísmo. Ao analisar a associação das variáveis de estudo e as duas dimensões de presenteísmo propostas pelo SPS-6, trabalho finalizado e concentração mantida, foram evidenciados escores mais baixos na dimensão concentração mantida. O presenteísmo, portanto, diminuiu a capacidade de concentração, interferindo negativamente no processo de trabalho dos trabalhadores de enfermagem e na saúde dos trabalhadores. / The presenteeism is described as the physical presence of the employees in the workplace however due to physical or mental problems they are not able to fulfil their professional tasks. It may lead to a loss of work productivity and it may bring even more consequences on the work process comparing to absenteeism. Considering nursing field presenteeism may trigger serious effects on the organization of work affecting workers’ health and the provided assistance. The aims of this study were outlined as following: General: describe presenteeism and analyze its association with occupational factors and health conditions among nursing team in an University Hospital in Juiz de Fora – MG; Specific: to translate to Brazilian Portuguese, to proceed a cultural adaptation and to assess psychometric properties, reliability and validity of the instrument selected to measure presenteeism: Stanford Presenteeism Scale (SPS-6); to identify the prevalence of presenteeism among nursing team; to assess occupational factors associated with presenteeism among nursing professionals and test the association between presenteeism and health conditions of nursing team. A cross-sectional study with 27 nursing workers was developed. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire-interview applied by interviewers from August to September 2011. The questionnaire was made from a part of the instrument which has already been tested and validated during a research carried out in Oswaldo Cruz Institut, FIOCRUZ, considering a reduced version of “Effort and Reward Scale” and “Stanford Presenteeism Scale” (SPS-6). SPS adaptation process included six aspects of equivalence (conceptual, semantic, operational, item, measure, functional equivalences). The analyses were based on the study of test-retest reliability carried out with a subsample of 50 workers from the main study. Results suggest an adequacy of the instrument taking into account its Brazilian Portuguese version indicating its use in the context of the study population and in other similar populations. The main reasons of the described presenteeism were the absence causing an overload of demands to their work colleagues. Thus this absence affects the provided assistance. Health hazards that affect the most workers’ performance were headache/migraine, allergies, asthma, rhinitis, stomach and intestinal problems and spinal problems. Taking into consideration socio demographic variables, age was associated with presenteeism as workers aged up to 40 years old have shown the highest level of loss in their performance. Concerning occupational variables we have identified association between presenteeism with desire to quit nursing, job strain and excessive commitment. We have found presenteeism in those who presented fair/poor health. In this way an association between absenteeism, disease and presenteeism was identified. The moment we had analyzed an association between the study variables and the two dimensions of presenteeism proposed by SPS-6, completing work and concentration maintained, we have noticed lower scores in the dimension concentration maintained. Thus presenteeism resulted in a decrease in the ability to concentrate, interfering in a negative way in the work of nursing team and in workers’ health.

Sjuk men kommer till jobbet? : -samverkan mellan individuella och organisatoriska faktorer bakom sjuknärvaro / Sick but go to work? : individual and organisational factors' interplay behind Sickness Presenteeism

Saifeeva, Farida January 2021 (has links)
Sjuknärvaro är ett globalt fenomen som har negativa följder för individer och organisationer. Under Covid - 19 pandemin har även konsekvenser som smittspridning på grund av sjuknärvaro aktualiserats. Studien syftade till att undersöka hur anställdas attityder, säkerhetsspecifikt ledarskap, anställningsotrygghet, personliga ekonomiska svårigheter och anställningsform kan tänkas leda till anställdas sjuknärvaro. Enkätundersökning (N = 177) visade att normativa attityder till sjuknärvaro kan leda till starkare intentioner för att komma till arbetet trots sjukdom. Emellertid visade studien att det inte fanns något samband mellan individers attityder till smittorisker med Covid -19 på deras arbetsplats och intentioner för sjuknärvaro. Inte heller personliga ekonomiska svårigheter eller anställningsform hade någon relation med intentioner för sjuknärvaro. Anställningsotrygghet var positivt associerad med normativa attityder medan säkerhetsspecifikt ledarskap hade en negativ relation med upplevelser av smittorisker.
