DETERMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRESENTEEISM AND ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT IN NURSING

Abstract

Objectives: High rates of presenteeism among the nurses decreases their performances, increases the patient safety risks, and causes negative results in healthcare institutions. Presenteeism is affected by individual and organizational factors. The study was carried out to determine the presenteeism situation of nurses and their relationship with perceived organizational support. Methods: The research was carried out at a hospital in Kayseri/Turkey. The hospital has 372 nurses work there. Research population and sample the population of the research consisted of all the nurses working in the hospital (N=372). Thus, the research was conducted on 330 nurses. The research was carried out between September 2019 and November 2019. In the study, the data were collected by using the information form which was prepared by the researcher, the presenteeism scale and the perceived organizational support scale. Results: The total mean score of the participants’ presenteeism is 23.64 ± 2.56. The lowest possible score which was obtained from the scale is 11 and the highest is 28. When the average of the perceived organizational support scale is examined; the average of the score was medium and the average score was 122.76 ± 8.53. It was determined that there was a significant relationship between the absence of attention-distraction, which is the sub-dimension of presenteeism scale, and the total score of perceived organizational support (p <0.05), there was no significant relationship with completion task and presenteeism total scale scores (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The high rate of presenteeism in nurses, decrease in work efficiency and job satisfaction, causes absenteeism. These study suggest that measures should be taken by institutions to prevent and avoid negative situations which are caused by presenteeism.
