“…Working night shifts, putting in extra hours, and showing up to work unwell are all part of what it takes to be a nurse. Majority of nurses prefer to attend and take responsibility for work even if suffering from low-efficiency physical or psychological problems rather in lieu of absenteeism to earn full salaries and maintain their employment, which is named the act of presenteeism (Ahmed et al, 2023). Presenteeism poses a significant risk to patient safety and health as well as a major organizational burden (Critz et al, 2020).…”

“…In literature, presenteeism has two types: job-stress presenteeism & sickness presenteeism and viewed conceptually, recently, and in a variety of ways as referring to professionals who continue to report to work while being physically or mentally ill.

Introduction Nurses play a vital role in ensuring effective patient care delivery and organizational productivity. Hence, it becomes imperative to prioritize their psychological well-being and explore how its impairment may be associated with their productivity loss. Aims The study aims to investigate the relationship between nurses’ psychological well-being and their work productivity loss by examining how nurses self-reported their own psychological well-being and work productivity loss. Methods A descriptive correlational design was conducted at an Egyptian university hospital. A convenience sample of 400 nurses completed two tools: (a) Outcome Questionnaire-45 was used to assess the psychological well-being of nurses and (b) the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment – General Health Questionnaire was used to measure nurses’ work productivity. Results Among the 400 surveyed nurses, 66.7% reported overall poor psychological well-being. Regarding work productivity loss, 22.8% of nurses missed an average of 974.81 work hours due to absenteeism, and 62.0% lost an average of 10,630 work hours due to presenteeism. Additionally, 75.5% experienced impaired daily living activities. Approximately 13.4% of total working hours were missed due to health problems or psychological distress. Regression analysis revealed that poor psychological well-being significantly predicts work productivity loss, accounting for 2.0% of absenteeism, 11.0% of presenteeism, 17.0% of daily activity impairment, and 9.0% of overall productivity loss, with the model being significant ( p < 0.01). Conclusion Nurses often experience poor psychological well-being and distress that hinder their daily activities and cause work productivity loss. Therefore, hospital management should prioritize improving nurses’ physical and mental health and bolstering their self-efficacy and resilience to minimize the effects of symptom distress on productivity. Investing in nurses’ well-being through managerial caring, organizational support, and fostering a supportive work environment are vital strategies for promoting quality patient care and enhancing their work productivity.
