Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the influencing factors on presenteeism of nurses in Korea and Japan. Methods: The subjects were hospital nurses in Korea and Japan. Data of 1,618 nurses were collected from September 2007 to March 2008 by structured questionnaires. The response rate of subjects was 93.0% in Korea and 76.9% in Japan. The data was analyzed using SPSS 12.0 package. Results: The three major health problems of Korean nurses were 'shoulder, back and neck pain', 'fatigue or edema of foot' and 'gastrointestinal trouble'. The three major health problems of Japanese nurses were 'shoulder, back and neck pain', 'fatigue or edema of foot' and 'depression or anxiety'. 'Depression or anxiety' were considered the highest cause of presenteeism by nurses in both countries. The number of health problems was the most influencing factor on presenteeism by nurses in both Korea and Japan. Conclusions: These results imply that clinical nurses have a higher level of presenteeism. Therefore, administrators need to use job-related safety and health strategies to manage the presenteeism of nurses. It is desirable that those strategies will be specifically applied to gastrointestinal trouble management for Korean nurses and to depression management for Japanese nurses.
