A danger for care quality and patient safety in nursing: Presenteeism

Abstract

İşte var olamama (presenteeizm), hemşirelikle ilişkilendirilen bir kavram olması nedeniyle dünya literatüründe hemşirelik alanında daha fazla ilgi görürken, ülkemizde bu konuyla ilgili çok az çalışma bulunmaktadır. Hemşirelikte işte var olamama bakım kalitesini ve maliyetini, çalışan verimliliğini, hasta güvenliğini etkilemektedir. Hemşire yetersizliği gibi uzun vadede çözülebilecek sorunların dünya gündeminde olması, işte var olamama gibi kısa vadede düzeltilebilir hemşire davranışlarının önemini daha da artırmaktadır. Bu bağlamda derlemenin amacı, hemşirelikte işte var olamamaya dikkat çekmek ve uluslararası literatür ışığında nedenlerini ve sonuçlarını açıklamaktır.

Do Work Stress, Psychological Resilience and Workplace Friendships Predict Presenteeism in Healthcare Workers

“…In our study, we focused on job stress as the first variable examined in the context of gender regarding the prediction of presenteeism. Consistent with existing research findings, stress experienced in the workplace has been identified as one of the primary predictors of presenteeism (Aslan & Ulupınar, 2020;Baykal & Koc Tutuncu, 2021;Brborovi et al, 2017;El-Kurdy et al, 2022;Rainbow et al, 2021;Yang et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2020). Indeed, our study's findings revealed a noteworthy gender difference in the predictive role of job stress on presenteeism among healthcare professionals.…”

“…A variety of factors influence productivity, satisfaction, and attendance levels at work, including physiological disorders, individual reasons, and the functioning of the organization (Anik Baysal et al, 2014;Baker-McClearn et al, 2010;Ciftci, Meric, & Meric, 2018;Naldan et al, 2019). The concept of presenteeism, defined as the inability of employees to perform at their full potential despite their physical presence in the workplace, has garnered interest in recent years (Biron et al, 2006;Koopman et al, 2002;Lui, Andres, & Johnston, 2024) among scientists studying employee behavior (Rainbow & Steege, 2017;Fiorini, et al, 2018;Aslan & Ulupınar, 2020). Presenteeism is the situation in which the individual continues to work in situations where they shouldn't be at work for different reasons, such as feeling morally obliged, fear of job loss (job insecurity), fear of negative words or behaviors from colleagues, career goals, or not wanting to burden colleagues further (Dhaini et al, 2016;Yang et al, 2017;Kocoglu, 2007).…”
