This study investigated the common health conditions leading to presenteeism and the economic impact among Japanese workers in the post-COVID-19 era.
Between February and March 2023, 10,000 workers responded to a web-based, cross-sectional survey on health problems that interfered with their work, degree of presenteeism, and teleworking status.
Approximately 35.6% of workers faced health problems that impacted their work. The primary health problems leading to presenteeism were low back pain, neck pain/stiff shoulders, and mental illness, which varied slightly with age and work style. The estimated annual costs due to presenteeism per 1000 employees were $488,210 for low back pain, $346,308 for neck pain/stiff shoulders, and $327,137 for mental illness.
Our findings suggest that presenteeism measures, primarily for musculoskeletal pain and mental health problems, are required to increase work productivity.
本研究调查了导致新冠疫情后时代日本员工出勤主义的常见健康状况及其经济影响。
2023年2月至3月期间,10000名员工对一项基于网络的横断面调查做出了回应,该调查涉及影响其工作的健康问题、出勤主义程度和远程工作状况。
约35.6%的员工面临影响其工作的健康问题。导致出勤主义的主要健康问题是腰痛、颈痛/肩僵硬以及精神疾病,这些问题随年龄和工作方式略有不同。每1000名员工因出勤主义导致的估计年度成本为:腰痛488210美元,颈痛/肩僵硬346308美元,精神疾病327137美元。
我们的研究结果表明,需要采取出勤主义措施,主要针对肌肉骨骼疼痛和心理健康问题,以提高工作效率。
