Abstract: Objective To understand the current situation of hidden absenteeism among operating room nurses and analyze its influencing factors,in order to provide reference for further reducing the situation of hidden absenteeism among operating room nurses. Methods A convenience sampling method was employed to administer questionnaires comprising the work-family conflict scale,the overqualification scale,and the invisible absence scale to 311 operating theatre nurses from five grade-A tertiary hospitals in Guangdong Province from May to June 2024,and the data were analyzed. Results A total of 308 valid questionnaires were collected. The scores of overqualification,work-family conflict,recessive absenteeism of nurses in operating room were (25.78±9.00),(46.66±15.27) and(17.87±6.23)points,respectively. The high incidence of hidden absenteeism was 61.69%. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that monthly income,overqualification,and work-family conflict were the main influencing factors of hidden absenteeism among operating room nurses(all P<0.05). Conclusions The hidden absenteeism of operating room nurses is at a moderate to high level and is affected by overqualification and work-family conflicts. It is recommended to adopt effective human resource management strategies,such as providing career development opportunities and promoting work family balance,to reduce the occurrence of hidden absenteeism.
