Factors of occurrence and improvement methods of presenteeism attributed to diabetes: A systematic review

Abstract

Objective A systematic review was performed to study factors of occurrence and improvement methods of presenteeism attributed to diabetes. Methods We set 2 clinical questions; (a) how comorbidities and complications of diabetes induce presenteeism and (b) what interventions or conditions effectively improve presenteeism. Then, we conducted a comprehensive search with MEDLINE /PubMed and Scopus databases and extracted those that met the clinical questions. Results Eighteen papers studied occurrence of presenteeism by comorbidities and complications of diabetes. Most studies were cross‐sectional and had a low quality of evidence. However, the associations of hypoglycemia, diabetic neuropathy, and mood disorders with presenteeism were relatively well studied. The papers that discussed effective interventions or conditions for improving presenteeism were very limited. Conclusions Our review suggests that presenteeism attributed to diabetes is mainly caused by hypoglycemia, diabetic neuropathy, and mood disorders. There are very limited evidences, but available information suggests that improving glycemic control, adjusting treatment regimen by evaluating the impact on work, providing psychological support, and developing suitable work accommodations may effectively reduce presenteeism.

Health and Productivity Management in Hospital Organizations and Work Engagement of Nurses

“…A good work environment is essential for workplace health promotion efforts to be effective 36) , and the outcomes of such health promotion programs depend on organizational factors such as the top management's leadership 24) . Berry et al 37) , in their discussion on “engaged leadership at multiple levels,” suggested that if chief executive officers find time for exercise, employees would be less reluctant to take a fitness leave.…”

“…These efforts related to health and productivity management are similar to those in Japan. In the latter case, the certification system for health and productivity management is a mechanism for evaluating systems, programs, and management that promote health maintenance at the corporate level, and this system evaluates some aspects of corporate health climate and culture 24) . WE has been suggested to be associated with factors of corporate health culture.…”

Socioeconomic, Psychosocial, and Clinical Factors Associated With Employment in Women With HIV in the United States: A Correlational Study

“…HIV care indicators (i.e., HIV viral load ≤200 copies/mL, CD4 count/mm 3 , HIV medication adherence, and the ability to keep scheduled HIV care appointments) were assessed through self-report and/or blood draw to better depict the relationship between HIV-related clinical variables and employment. Other health indicators (i.e., hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and anemia) that have been shown to influence capacity for employment and efficiency at work (Leonardi & Scaratti, 2018; Mori et al, 2019; Verbooy et al, 2018) were selected to further delineate the relationships between employment and common comorbidities associated with HIV infection. We defined hypertension and diabetes by clinical readings (blood pressure ≥140/90 mm Hg, fasting blood glucose ≥126 mg/dL, or hemoglobin A1C value ≥6.5%), self-reported diagnosis, or use of medications to control either condition.…”

Continuous Glucose Monitors are Cost Neutral Compared to SMBG

“…Presenteeism, reduced work productivity while at work due to asymptomatic hypoglycemia, diabetic neuropathy and mood disorders is well recognized [22]. While we are unable to estimate the cost per person per day, presenteeism is known to contribute to lost productivity of approximately $26.9 billion per year in the United States [23].…”
