“…Personal and family concerns at home led health workers to be minimally engaged with patients while at work, or skip work altogether. This is similar to findings from previous studies that found that employees with family or personal conflict were less likely to be committed at work and vice versa …”

Summary Sub-Saharan Africa experiences human resources crisis in the health sector. Specifically, Uganda faces significant shortages in health care workforce at all levels. However, there is limited literature on factors contributing to health care workforce absenteeism. This study aims to explore reasons for absenteeism among health workers in rural Uganda. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and focus groups. Eight focus groups were conducted with participants (n = 27) selected from 39 selected health centers. Four main themes emerged as the reasons for absenteeism among health workers. These included personal/family related challenges, distance or transportation issues, income specifically additional sources of income, and poor support/supervision. Barriers to active engagement at work were also identified, including loss of motivation, concerns at home, patient level issues, and lack of equipment. Recommendations were also elicited from the participants. These findings are critical in formulating and developing interventions to address absenteeism and low performance among health workers.

“…Occupational health-and workplace health-promotion literature provides considerable evidence that suggests that this cooperation is key in determining the nature of work outcomes (see Brown, Gray, McHardy, & Taylor, 2015;Brunetto, FarrWharton, & Shacklock, 2010;Hegar, 2012). Evidence from work-family conflict research also suggests that the observed frictions between care workers and their families have the potential to affect employee outcomes such as work commitment (Benligiray & Sönmez, 2012;Malik, Awan, & ul-Ain, 2015). Our findings suggest a need for intervention to improve work relations between institutional leaders and core caregivers, as well as among caregivers themselves.…”

Abstract:The experience of stress by workers in any work environment has negative impacts on employee health and productivity. However, work resources are known to have possible neutralizing impacts on the negative effects of stress depending on the availability of those resources and the extent to which employees are able to identify and utilize them. This study explores this stress-resource relationship and its implications in a work context where the lives of vulnerable children depend on the wellbeing and productivity of their employed caregivers. Qualitative exploratory techniques were used to investigate the sources and nature of stressors experienced by caregivers and the extent to which caregivers identify and utilize resources available in that work environment. Participants comprised 41 caregivers from 2 children's homes in Ghana. It emerged that aspects of the work environment that were identified as stressors also tended to be identified as resources for caregivers. These included the children, the work environment, institution-community relations, and relationships between caregivers and their own families. Caregiver faith and intrinsic motivation stood out as the most frequently reported of the resources upon which caregivers drew to cope with their jobs.
