Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting nurses’ presenteeism, which is defined as attending work while ill.
Methods: The subjects of the study were 545 nurses who were wage employees among survey sample of the Fifth Korea Working Conditions Survey. The measured variables included demographic, health problems, working environments, and presenteeism. Data analysis were performed using SPSS version 25.0 with frequency and descriptive statistics, x 2 test, t-test, and multiple logistic regression.
Results: Among the 545 nurses, 141 (25.8 %) showed presenteeism. Those who experienced back pain (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 3.44: 95%CI: 1.45~8.15), 41~51 working hours per week (aOR 2.05: 95%CI: 1.31~3.20), ≥52 working hours per week (aOR 2.93: 95%CI: 1.14~7.54) showed an increased risk of presenteeism compared to their respective counterparts. As the scores of high job demand and emotional labor increased, nurses' presenteeism increased by 1.12 (95%CI: 1.02~1.24) and 1.66 times (95%CI: 1.27~2.17), respectively.
Conclusion: The working environment influences presenteeism. Therefore, it is important to develop an organizational strategy that reduces nurses' presenteeism, such as reducing work overload and preventing emotional labor.
