Abstract
Aim: This research investigates presenteeism among clinical nurses in Jingmen City, China, and identifies its influencing factors. Design: A cross-sectional study design was employed. Methods: A total of 2,222 clinical nurses in Jingmen City were surveyed from June to July 2024. The level of presenteeism was assessed using the Stanford Presenteeism Scale. Socio-demographic data, inclusive leadership, and organizational support were measured through a self-developed structured questionnaire, the Inclusive Leadership Scale, and the Organizational Support Scale. Descriptive statistics, univariate analysis, correlation analysis, and stepwise multiple linear regression analysis were utilized to evaluate the factors influencing presenteeism among clinical nurses. Results: The mean scores for presenteeism, inclusive leadership, and organizational support among clinical nurses were 16.95 ± 3.27, 36.14 ± 5.02, and 50.17 ± 7.64, respectively. Variations in presenteeism were observed based on age, educational background, marital status, childlessness status, establishment type, professional title, position, length of service, and department category. However, no significant differences were found concerning gender, exercise frequency, physical condition, and religious beliefs. Correlation analysis revealed a negative relationship between perceived inclusive leadership and organizational support and presenteeism. Stepwise multiple linear regression identified marital status, employment method, professional title, number of night shifts, inclusive leadership, and organizational support as significant influencing factors of presenteeism among clinical nurses.
