“…This study investigated presenteeism due to WMSD and revealed a worrying situation due to the high prevalence observed in our and other studies. 10 , 11 , 21 This outcome considerably affects the worker, indicating an impossibility of performing work activities adequately. The negative impact on workers’ health and on their surroundings can become evident 5 when the causes of presenteeism are not removed or reduced, since injuries are then aggravated and the quality of work is reduced.…”

Background Presenteeism associated to work-related musculoskeletal disorders is an important aspect of occupational health that can reveal important information regarding productivity and quality of life at work. Objective To quantify and evaluate the factors associated to presenteeism due to work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Methods This is a crosssectional study that used data from the Brazilian National Survey of Health of 2013, involving 847 workers diagnosed with workrelated musculoskeletal disorders. Results A multivariate analysis observed an association between presenteeism due to workrelated musculoskeletal disorders and income of a minimum wage or less (prevalence ratio 1.27, 95% confidence interval 1.02-1.60), intense physical activity at work (prevalence ratio 1.22, 95% confidence interval 1.08-1.37), and chronic diseases (prevalence ratio 1.23, 95% confidence interval 1.09-1.38). Conclusions Our observations indicated a high incidence of presenteeism, which was associated to sociodemographic and occupational aspects, as well as to the workers’ lifestyle and health conditions.

“…10 Several studies reported the relationship between LBP among nurses and presenteeism. 11,12 However, these studies observed the relationship between overall LBP and work productivity. The factors and extent of LBP are various, and the treatment for LBP differs depending on the duration and the factors.…”

Objectives Chronic low back pain (LBP) is known to cause various disorders compared with acute LBP. However, there was no study evaluating presenteeism due to LBP divided into subcategories by the duration of LBP. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between acute or chronic LBP and presenteeism in hospital nursing staff. Methods Overall, 1100 nurses filled in a questionnaire on basic attributes, LBP symptoms, depression symptoms, and work productivity. The subjects were divided into three groups based on the period of LBP and the compared work productivity. Work Limitation Questionnaire Japanese version (WLQ‐J) was used for the assessment of work productivity. The effects of acute and chronic LBP on presenteeism were evaluated through multiple regression analysis models. Results In total, 765 subjects, without missing values, were included. The overall prevalence of LBP was 64.6% (acute LBP 47.5%, chronic LBP 17.1%). On multiple regression analysis, acute pain and presenteeism were not associated. Conversely, chronic LBP was associated with time management (adjusted β = −2.3, 95% CI: −4.5 to −1.1), mental‐interpersonal relationship (adjusted β = −2.8, 95% CI: −5.1 to −0.6), and output (adjusted β = −2.7, 95% CI: −5.4 to 0.0) after adjustment for sex and career years. When depression was included in the adjustment factors, chronic LBP and WLQ subscales were not associated. Conclusions It became obvious that Chronic LBP in nurses was significantly related to time management, mental‐interpersonal relationship, and output. The importance of preventing a decline in work productivity by taking precautions to prevent chronic LBP and depression was suggested.

“…Previous studies demonstrated that sleep disorders were reported by workers with Burnout (17) , even though there was an association between insomnia and musculoskeletal disorders -such as headaches, back and neck pain (18) -and that the number of nursing professionals who attend work complaining of some musculoskeletal symptom is considerable (19) . Some studies (14,(18)(19)(20) have indicated that the main body sites of musculoskeletal disorders are the regions of the head and cervical, lumbar and thoracic spine.…”
