Objective To explore the association between job burnout and presenteeism induced health related productivity loss among medical staff.
Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among medical staff who were stratified selected from 8 tertiary hospitals registered to the medical union of Shanghai Municipal Health Bureau. Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey(MBI-GS)and Stanford Presenteeism Scale(SPS-6)were used to assess job burnout and presenteeism induced health related productivity loss, respectively.
Results Of the 2 313 valid MBI-GS questionnaires that provided complete information about job burnout, 74.2% respondents were assessed as suffering from job burnout, and the rate was 73.2% for the doctors and 84.0% for the nurses. The mean score of SPS-6 was 15.24& #177;3.89. Significant differences in presenteeism induced health related productivity loss were found among medical staff categorized by age, occupations, working years, professional titles, staff establishment, shift work, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, personal accomplishment, and job burnout(P<0.05); but the differences were not observed among different gender and education groups(P>0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed an association between job burnout and presenteeism induced health related productivity loss after adjusted by socioeconomic status and job category, which indicated that the association did not vary by socioeconomic status and job category.
Conclusion There may exist a strong association between job burnout and presentieem induced health related productivity loss among medical staff. With the increase of job burnout, more health related productivity loss induced by presenteeism occur.
