Abstract:

Objective To investigate the status of presenteeism among clinical nurses and explore the multiple mediation effects of hospital magnetism and sense of occupational benefits between nurses' occupational stress and presenteeism. Methods By using the convenient sampling method,360 clinical nurses were selected as research subjects from two tertiary hospitals in Hebei and Shandong provinces from January to May 2024. General information questionnaires,the perceived professional benefits scale,the hospital magnetism level scale,the occupational stress scale,and the hidden absenteeism scale were used to conduct the investigation and analysis of clinical nurses. Results The total score of perceived professional benefits of clinical nurses was (123.93±23.76)points,the total score of hospital magnetism element level was (156.49±25.05)points,the total score of occupational stress was (87.42±22.47)points,and the total score of hidden absenteeism was (18.02±6.75)points. The total score of hidden absenteeism of clinical nurses was positively correlated with the total score of occupational stress and the scores of each dimension(r=0.186-0.343,all P<0.01),negatively correlated with the total score of hospital magnetism level and the scores of each dimension(r=-0.404- -0.325,all P<0.01),and negatively correlated with the total score of perceived professional benefits and the scores of each dimension(r=-0.437--0.320,all P<0.05). The hospital magnetism level of clinical nurses played a partial mediating role between occupational stress and hidden absenteeism,with a mediating effect of 0.051,accounting for 12.41% of the total effect. Perceived professional benefits played a partial mediating role between occupational stress and hidden absenteeism,with a mediating effect of 0.065,accounting for 15.82% of the total effect. Hospital magnetism level and perceived professional benefits played a chain mediating role between occupational stress and hidden absenteeism,with a mediating effect of 0.008,accounting for 1.95% of the total effect. Conclusion The incidence of hidden absenteeism among clinical nurses is relatively high. Occupational stress can indirectly affect nurses' hidden absenteeism respectively through the mediating role of hospital magnetism level and perceived professional benefits,and the chain mediating role of hospital magnetism level and perceived professional benefits.
