Hormone replacement therapy significantly reduced absenteeism in middle-aged women working in healthcare. This finding suggests HRT can improve work capacity and potentially lower healthcare costs.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Women's Health
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Absenteeism in healthcare impacts efficiency and costs.
  • Middle-aged women, often healthcare workers, experience climacteric symptoms that may affect work capacity.
  • Menopause and its associated symptoms are prevalent among female healthcare professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between menopausal status, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and absenteeism among female healthcare workers.
  • To determine the impact of climacteric symptoms on work capacity in this population.
  • To identify primary causes of sick leave in female hospital staff.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study was conducted in a public hospital in Santiago in 1992.

  • Absenteeism rates were analyzed based on menopausal status (premenopausal vs. postmenopausal) and HRT use.
  • Causes of sick leave were categorized, including osteoarticular and psychiatric diseases.

    • Main Results:

    • The global absenteeism rate was 17.1 days/year.
    • Postmenopausal women not receiving HRT had significantly higher absenteeism (20.4 days/year) compared to those on HRT (9.4 days/year).
    • Osteoarticular and psychiatric diseases were the leading causes of sick leave, accounting for 44.3% and 18.1%, respectively.

    Conclusions:

    • Hormone replacement therapy is associated with reduced absenteeism in postmenopausal women.
    • HRT may improve work capacity and mitigate the impact of menopausal symptoms on healthcare professionals.
    • Addressing menopausal symptoms through HRT could be a strategy to enhance healthcare workforce productivity.
