Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of major health issues and job stress on presenteeism among clinical nurses. Methods: The investigator conducted a survey on 226 clinical nurses at a general hospital in Seoul from March 3 to April 15, 2017, and analyzed their responses. Results: The findings showed that job stress did not have a significant effect on the nurses' presenteeism. Fatigue (t=3.55,p<.001) impacted job loss, one of the subcategories of presenteeism, with an explanatory power of 12.1%. Premenstrual syndrome (t=-2.67,p=.008) and fatigue (t=-2.46,p=.015) affected perceived productivity with an explanatory power of 23.6%. Conclusion: Based on these findings, the study highlighted the need for effective management programs to tackle fatigue and premenstrual syndrome among clinical nurses' major health issues in order to reduce their productivity loss.
