“…In Australia, rates of work absenteeism during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic peaked at 1AE3% and were similar to those observed during the 2007 and 2008 seasonal influenza seasons. 33,42,43 New Zealand reported regional variations, with additional strain due to health care worker absenteeism in some parts of the country, such as Wellington; however, overall absenteeism was not a significant issue relative to previous years.…”

(2011) Epidemiologic and virologic assessment of the 2009 influenza A (H1N1) pandemic on selected temperate countries in the Southern Hemisphere: Argentina, Australia, Chile, New Zealand and South Africa. Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses 5(6), e487–e498. Introduction and Setting Our analysis compares the most comprehensive epidemiologic and virologic surveillance data compiled to date for laboratory‐confirmed H1N1pdm patients between 1 April 2009 ‐ 31 January 2010 from five temperate countries in the Southern Hemisphere–Argentina, Australia, Chile, New Zealand, and South Africa. Objective We evaluate transmission dynamics, indicators of severity, and describe the co‐circulation of H1N1pdm with seasonal influenza viruses. Results In the five countries, H1N1pdm became the predominant influenza strain within weeks of initial detection. South Africa was unique, first experiencing a seasonal H3N2 wave, followed by a distinct H1N1pdm wave. Compared with the 2007 and 2008 influenza seasons, the peak of influenza‐like illness (ILI) activity in four of the five countries was 3‐6 times higher with peak ILI consultation rates ranging from 35/1,000 consultations/week in Australia to 275/100,000 population/week in New Zealand. Transmission was similar in all countries with the reproductive rate ranging from 1.2–1.6. The median age of patients in all countries increased with increasing severity of disease, 4–14% of all hospitalized cases required critical care, and 26–68% of fatal patients were reported to have ≥1 chronic medical condition. Compared with seasonal influenza, there was a notable downward shift in age among severe cases with the highest population‐based hospitalization rates among children <5 years old. National population‐based mortality rates ranged from 0.8–1.5/100,000. Conclusions The difficulty experienced in tracking the progress of the pandemic globally, estimating its severity early on, and comparing information across countries argues for improved routine surveillance and standardization of investigative approaches and data reporting methods.

“…The nursing staff absenteeism of 43% during the pandemic may not be unusually high, considering that baseline absenteeism rates before the pandemic ranged from 11% to 46% in other South American hospitals. 7,8 Nonetheless, ensuring adequate staffing levels is critical, because it is well established that reduced nursing hours are associated with adverse outcomes and deaths. 9 This analysis focused on pandemic impact at the hospital level.…”

“…A identificação precoce do índice de cobertura de ausência nas categorias da equipe de enfermagem oferece suporte para planejamento de recursos humanos desta área em termos quantitativos e qualitativos. Esta é considerada uma importante descoberta, uma vez que é uma das variáveis utilizadas para (re)dimensionamento do grupo de profissionais, de acordo com a realidade de cada serviço (40) .…”
