Abstract

INTRODUZIONE: Il presenteismo rappresenta la necessità di "mettersi al lavoro anche se ci si sente male"; influenzando così la qualità del lavoro, portando a errori o omissioni, riducendo la produttività e aumentando i costi. Gli infermieri sono annoverati tra i professionisti con il più alto grado di presenteismo, con potenziali effetti negativi sulla qualità del lavoro.


OBIETTIVI: Accertare la prevalenza del Presenteismo tra gli infermieri italiani.


METODI: E’ stato condotto uno studio trasversale, multicentrico da gennaio a dicembre 2015 su un campione di infermieri italiani. 652 infermieri hanno completato il questionario. Il punteggio totale medio alla Stanford Presenteeism Scale (SPS-6) era 21.6 (± 4.0). Gli infermieri hanno mostrato elevati livelli di Presenteismo nelle sezioni: "Evitare distrazioni" e "Completare il lavoro" della Scala.


RISULTATI: Gli infermieri maschi hanno mostrato livell inferiori di Presenteismo rispetto alle donne, che tendevano anche ad essere minori con l'aumentare dell'età (entrambi p <0,05). La presenza di ≥1 problema di salute auto-riferito è stata associata ad un aumento del punteggio (p <0,05).


CONCLUSIONI: In linea con studi precedenti effettuati nel contesto internazionale, il Presenteismo sembra essere una condizione diffusa anche tra gli infermieri italiani, che dovrebbe essere adeguatamente riconosciuta da parte dei manager sanitari. I risultati di questa indagine potrebbero essere utilizzati come spunto di riflessione, per implementare mirate strategie di politica sanitaria.
