“…This is supported by D’emeh et al 36. The relationship between work stress and impaired health among nurses has been well established 37–39. Our findings are consistent with the model of presenteeism in nursing proposed by Rainbow et al ,40 which suggests that work conditions are closely related to the health of nursing staff.…”

“…The included OOH nurses in this study expressed a standard high threshold for sick absence and a high level of work ethics among the included nurses (eg, feelings of obligation towards colleagues and respect for leaders). Although most organisations value employees with strong work ethics, the findings suggest that this attitude promotes nurses to attend work despite not being well—a finding supported by previous literature 37 44 45. Moreover, presenteeism is regarded as a demonstration of high morale 44.…”

ObjectivesThis study aimed to gain new insight and knowledge on out-of-hours emergency primary care nurses’ experience of presenteeism in their workplace and their outlook on the impact they recognised the phenomenon to have on patient safety when caring for acute patients.DesignAn explorative qualitative study.SettingThe study was conducted at three out-of-hours primary care facilities in southwest Norway.ParticipantsA total of 10 female nurses were recruited as interviewees. Nurses providing direct patient care were included in the study.ResultsThe analysis resulted in four major themes: strong work ethics influence the decision to attend work unwell; work environment factors have a negative impact on nurses’ health; nurses’ awareness of consequences on the quality of care and patient safety and nurses make use of coping strategies when engaging in presenteeism.ConclusionPresenteeism is a common experience among nurses at out-of-hours emergency primary care clinics, with work-related stress being a significant contributing factor. Despite recognising a decrease in performance while engaging in presenteeism, nurses displayed adaptive behaviour. They were confident that their suboptimal health issues did not significantly impact patient safety while caring for acute patients. However, the true impact of presenteeism on patient safety in an out-of-hours emergency care setting remains uncertain due to the reliance on subjective reporting systems as quality indicators. More research is needed to understand the phenomenon and its implications on patient safety fully.

“…In order to improve the professional status of nurses and create good working conditions for nurses and provide them with all-round support, it is necessary to start from the perspective of management [36,37]. Inclusive leadership plays an important role in the nurse management [38]. Hospital managers must pay attention to the implicit absenteeism of obstetrics and gynecology nurses, the work pressure and demands of nurses [39].…”

Background Implicit absenteeism is very common among clinical nurses. We aimed to evaluate the role of psychological coherence in the inclusive leadership and implicit absenteeism among obstetrics and gynecology nurses, to provide evidence to the clinical management of nurses. Methods Through the convenience sampling method, a survey of gynecology nurses in tertiary hospitals in 16 cities of Anhui Province, China was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, the Stanford Implicit Absence Scale, the Inclusive Leadership Scale and the Sense of Coherence Scale. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 20. Results A total of 1080 nurses were included with an effective response rate of 93.5%. The average score of nurses' recessive absenteeism in this study was (16.8 ± 0.15). The average of inclusive leadership score was (34.25 ± 7.23). The average score of psychological coherence score of obstetrics and gynecology nurses was (55.79 ± 8.28). Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a relationship between implicit absenteeism behavior, inclusive leadership, and the level of psychological coherence in obstetrics and gynecology nurses (all P < 0.05). Linear regression analysis indicated that psychological coherence played a partial mediating role between inclusive leadership and obstetrics and gynecology nurses' implicit absenteeism (all P < 0.05). Conclusions Obstetrics and gynecology nurses have serious recessive absenteeism with low sense of psychological coherence and inclusive leadership. Nursing managers should improve the psychological coherence through effective interventions, thereby reducing the incidence of implicit absenteeism.

“…Evaluating depression in health care workers is important for the prevention of absenteeism (Eßl-Maurer et al, 2021). Absenteeism is frequent in health care workers, inducing a vicious circle due to increased burden in hospital care (Banks & Pearson, 2021). Among professional factors associated with depression, burnout has been the most studied and consistently associated with increased risk of depression (Koutsimani et al, 2019).…”

Aim This study aimed to explore work environment and mental health in nurse assistants, nurses and health executives in a national large‐scale study. Background We have data for physicians but not for other health care workers categories. Methods A total of 6935 participants were recruited between May and June 2021 by professional mailings and professional networks. Results All professional categories reported high rates of high psychological demand (>90%), low social support (>60%), burnout (50% to 60%), exposure to potentially morally injurious events (>40%) and depression (approximately 30%). Surgery nurses reported the highest exposure to potentially morally injurious events. Major depression was identified in approximately 30% of participants in all categories, but less than 10% reported consuming antidepressants. A total of 31% to 49% of participants reported sleep disorders and 16% to 21% reported consuming regularly hypnotics. Physicians reported high hazardous drinking behaviour and nurse assistant high smoking rates. Conclusions and Implications for Nursing Management Our results suggest that preventing burnout and depression in health care workers is a priority. To reach this goal, nursing managers could develop some interventions to reduce psychological demand and increase personal accomplishment and social support between colleagues, and prevent sustained bullying at the workplace and health risk behaviours. These interventions should be further developed and evaluated.
