Background:
To assess for evidence of presenteeism and evaluate interest of this workforce to participate in a stress reduction mental and physical fitness program to be called "One Body.
Objectives:
(a) explore if presenteeism exists in this population, (b) evaluate if survey participants exhibit an interest in a work place-based stress reduction fitness program.
Methods:
Quantitative and exploratory web-based survey design with a convenience sampling.
Results:
Results demonstrated high validity and reliability for each of the question categories.There is a significant positive correlation between questions used to: Explore: "Presence of presenteeism", r(113) = 0.76, p < .001Evaluate: "Interest in workplace fitness program", r(113) = 0.63, p < .001Strong association between "experience of presenteeism" and "interest in workplace fitness program," r(113) = 0.33, p < .001 CONCLUSIONS: This study will provide guidance regarding development of hypothesis for further study to create "One Body" program.
Implications For Nursing:
Presenteeism can lead to employee distraction, decreased work performance, and decreased productivity. Employees performing below expectations because of presenteeism can adversely affect individual employees, clients, and take economic toll on organizations. Nurse executives should be aware of the concept of presenteeism and explore stress reduction intervention programs to support workplace health.
