Common mental disorder (CMD) is one of the leading causes of disability. However, its prevalence and determinants are not well known in Somaliland. Hence, the purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of CMD and its associated factors among adult residents of Hargeisa, Somaliland. Data was collected from 398 adult residents of Hargeisa via digital interview-administered, adapted questionnaires during August 2023. Multi-stage sampling was used to draw study respondents. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) was used to screen CMD. Binary logistic regression was conducted, and odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. The prevalence of common mental disorder (CMD) was 47.5% (95% CI: 42.5–52.5), which was significantly higher among men (51.5%; 95% CI: 46.0–57.1) than women (29.2%; 95% CI: 19.0–41.1) (χ2 = 11.83, p = 0.001). People who chewed khat were 2.3 times more likely to have CMD than those who did not (OR = 2.28; 95% CI = 1.16–4.50; p = 0.017); however, physical exercise was a significant protective factor for CMD development (OR = 0.43; 95% CI =0.22–0.82, p < 0.05). In conclusion, CMD was highly prevalent in Hargeisa. Chewing khat was linked to a higher incidence of CMD, although physical activity provided protection against it. Hence, regular screening and appropriate community-based intervention of CMD is essential. Besides, government initiatives should establish drug rehab centres to treat khat abuse and addiction.

Objective To characterize presenteeism and productivity losses among nursing professionals in public and private health services. Method A cross-sectional study was conducted with 123 participants from a public hospital and 159 from a private hospital in Manaus, Brazil. The Sociodemographic Health Questionnaire was utilized to assess presenteeism, while the Work Limitations Questionnaire measured productivity losses. Data were analyzed using non-parametric methods. Results Health-related work loss and presenteeism were reported by 50.41% of public sector professionals and 39.62% of private sector professionals. Despite this, presenteeism was more prevalent in the private sector (93.65%) compared to the public sector. Common health issues included musculoskeletal (26.49%), mental/behavioral (19.21%), respiratory (17.22%), neurological (16.56%), and gastrointestinal (5.96%) conditions. Additionally, 54.24% of private sector professionals and 44.23% of public sector professionals did not seek treatment. The private sector exhibited greater limitations in receiving care due to time management (40.34%), mental-interpersonal tasks (49.95%), production tasks (52.54%), and physical tasks (61.30%), resulting in higher productivity losses among nurses (13.46%) and nursing technicians (15.82%). High-complexity sectors demonstrated the greatest productivity losses. Conclusion The study identified significant differences in the characteristics of presenteeism and productivity losses between nursing professionals in the public and private health sectors. These results point to the need to improve management and occupational safety and regulatory measures to solve workers' health problems and mitigate presenteeism and productivity losses in the public and private health sectors.

É fundamental identificar essas manifestações, devido a sua importância na qualidade de saúde do trabalhador. Objetivo: sistematizar o conhecimento acerca dos fatores associados ao presenteísmo no território brasileiro. Método: O presente artigo se trata de uma Revisão Integrativa de Literatura (RI), que partiu da seguinte questão norteadora: quais são os fatores associados ao presenteísmo no Brasil, nas diferentes áreas do trabalho? Para a busca, utilizou-se o descritor “presentesísmo”. Resultados: Foram selecionados nas bases de dados 18 artigos que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão elencados, a profissão abordada que mais apareceu nos artigos foram os profissionais da saúde.
