Demand For Sickness Certificate To Cover Absenteeism in Examinations in Postgraduate Education: A CrossSectinal Prevalence Study

Abstract

Background: This study was designed to evaluate the postgraduate students’ behavior in demanding sickness certificates for rest in examination periods.Methods: The characteristics of SC was to present an excuse for absenteeism in the mid-term examinations, provided to 14 graduate and 9 undergraduate schools were analyzed quantitatively.Results: The 80.1% (1795) of reports were prescribed for graduate students and of them most frequently delivered sickness certifications were faculty of engineering and faculty of science respectively (786 students 35.1% and 435 students 19.4% respectively).Conclusion: The coexistence of providing sickness certificates for rest in periods in which examinations are concentrated and proposing short periods of rest strongly suggests that non-medical reasons are mostly cause of prescribing rest to cover absenteeism.
