LEDESMA, Carmen Rosa Díaz; CRESPO, Hugo Gutiérrez e CASTRO, Ana María Amancio. Absenteeism and job performance in nursing professionals from critical areas. Rev Cuid [online]. 2018, vol.9, n.1, pp.1973-1987. ISSN 2216-0973. https://doi.org/10.15649/cuidarte.v9i1.426.
Introduction
Currently, a priority is for nursing professionals to improve their productivity through their regular care and good professional performance.
Objective
This work sought to determine the factors that condition absenteeism and its relation to the job performance of nursing professionals who work in critical areas.
Materials and Methods
This was a correlational, cross-sectional prospective study. The study population comprised professionals working in critical areas, conforming a sample of 65 nurses, selected through a non-probabilistic sampling. To measure the absenteeism variable, an 18-question instrument was elaborated and divided into four dimensions, with a reliability index of 0.71. Likewise, for the performance evaluation, a 50-question instrument was created and divided into six dimensions, applied through three measurements, with a reliability index of 0.93.
Results
Absenteeism results: 6.2% had a low conditioning factor in the individual factors dimension; 29.2% achieved a high conditioning factor in the place of work factors; and 89.2% obtained a regular conditioning factor in the dimension of work contents factor. The performance evaluation revealed that, in the self-evaluation, 76.9% achieved a good level. In the peer evaluation, 16.9% achieved a deficient level, while 29.2% reached a good level. In the evaluation by the chief, 15.4% had a deficient level, while 12.3% obtained a good level.
Discussion and Conclusions
Absenteeism had a direct and significant relation with job performance.
