Mental health challenges faced by young medical residents fighting COVID-19 in tunisia

IntroductionCOVID-19 pandemic affected not only physical health of individuals, and communities but also their mental health worldwide. Young physicians, who were providing care for patients during the outbreak in a global atmosphere of stress, anxiety and depression, were not spared.ObjectivesTo assess anxiety and depression among young medical resident exposed to COVID-19 in Tunisia and its associated factorsMethods It was a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical online-based survey, from April 19, 2020, to May 5, 2020 on 180 medical residents in training, via a Google-Form link. We used a self-administered anonymous questionnaire containing sociodemographic and clinical data. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) validated in the Tunisian dialectal version was used to assess anxiety and depression.Results Among 180 young doctors included, 70.2% were female, 16% were married, 81.8% worked in a university Hospital and 51.1% were frontline caregivers involved in primary screening. Our study revealed that 66.1% of young medical residents were suffering from anxiety (severe anxiety: 28.9 %) and 61.7% of them from depression (severe depression: 29.1%). Anxiety disorder was correlated to female gender (p=0.008), being married (0.001), worse quality of sleep (p<10-3) and increased consumption of tea and coffee (p=0.012). Depression was associated to worse quality of sleep (p<10-3), lack of physical activity (p<10-3), shortage of personal protective equipment (p=0,027) and anxiety disorder (p<10-3).ConclusionsOur study indicated a high proportion of anxiety and depression among young doctors in training, needing systematic screening in order to prevent them.

Impact of COVID-19 on the mental health among children in China with specific reference to emotional and behavioral disorders

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate impact of coronavirus COVID-19 on children’s mental health specifically emotional and behavioral disorders. It aims at identifying the main disorders faced by children during epidemics and suggests recommendations to nurture resilience among children and involving them in various positive activities.Design/methodology/approachThis study is based on review of literature focused on COVID-19. Recent articles related to coronavirus or COVID-19 and psychological distress among children were included to draw conclusion and impact of COVID-19 on mental health of children. Due to the limited availability of studies on CONID-19 impact on mental health of children, studies focused on recent pandemic were focused.FindingsThe identified literature reports a negative impact of COVID-19 on individual’s mental health. Relatives’ health, poor appetite, fear of asking questions about epidemics, agitation, clinginess, physical discomfort, nightmares and poor sleep, inattention and separation issues were among the major psychological conditions analyzed. Personal attributes such as resilience, should be nurtured so that children will be empowered to manage difficult situations such as traumas and disappointments. Several measures were suggested by pediatricians in China to family members and parents such as playing games with children to reduce feeling of loneliness, increased communication to address their concerns and fears, promoting and encouraging physical activities and involving in musical activities to reduce fear, worry and stress among children.Originality/valueCoronavirus is new pandemic and growing rapidly. most of the research studies are focused on physical health of individuals, but mental health concept has bene overlooked. This study helps to broaden the scope of research on children's mental health by examining the impact of COVID-19.

Forgiveness and Health Outcomes in Cancer Survivorship: A Scoping Review.

Religious and spiritual beliefs including forgiveness are an important aspect of cancer survivorship; however, the relationship between forgiveness and health is not well understood. The aim of this study was to conduct a scoping review that examines and maps the current research regarding relationships between forgiveness and health outcomes in individuals with cancer. We searched 5 electronic databases using key search terms related to forgiveness and cancer. Using a scoping review framework, we synthesized the existing literature regarding forgiveness and health among individuals with cancer and examined forgiveness as a process for coping with cancer. We located 277 articles for review; 24 met inclusion criteria. Forgiveness in interpersonal relationships emerged more often as forgiveness coping than other types of forgiveness. Most studies reported a positive association between forgiveness and mental health. Fewer studies were available regarding relationships between forgiveness and physical health, and findings were mixed. Forgiveness in interpersonal relationships is a spiritual concern for individuals with cancer. Addressing forgiveness needs may promote mental health in cancer survivors. More empirical evidence is needed to understand the role of forgiveness in physical health in individuals with cancer. Acknowledging forgiveness beliefs is a psychosocial-spiritual intervention that nurses can provide to support mental health in individuals with cancer. The potential role of forgiveness in physical health for individuals with cancer requires further study.

Addiction aux jeux (d’argent et vidéo) et état de santé des joueurs : une revue critique de la littérature

Gambling and gaming disorders have been introduced as addictions in the DSM-5 and have been announced for the next edition of the ICD. Links between gambling and gaming and psychiatric comorbidities have been thoroughly investigated, but so far the impact of gambling and gaming on physical health has been overlooked. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of gaming and gambling disorders on the physical health of gamers and gamblers. We conducted a systematic review of the literature, using PubMed/Medline to retrieve studies with the following: keywords: "gambling"; "pathological gambling"; "gambling health"; "gaming"; "pathological gaming" and "gaming health". Selected studies all reported on the physical health of gamers and gamblers with addiction. We obtained 133articles from the Medline database. After screening abstracts and introductions and full reading of papers we retrieved 25articles for this review. Seventeen articles reporting 56,179subjects with gambling disorder and 8articles reporting 63,887subjects with gaming disorder. All papers described the physical health of individuals with gaming and gambling disorders. For gambling, data showed the existence of digestive disorder (20 to 40%), sleeping disorders (35 to 68%), headaches (20 to 30%) and cardiovascular disorders: tachycardia (9%) and coronary artery disease (2 to 23%). Results were mostly significant when compared to the general population. For gaming, available studies reported qualitative data. Most frequently reported symptoms were sleeping complaints, joint pain, headaches and visual problems. These symptoms were more frequently described for teenagers. Sleeping complaints were the most frequently reported symptom. Although we found that the physical health of gamers and gamblers with addiction was impaired, no study investigated the causal role of addiction, gaming, and gambling. Further studies are needed to better understand how behavioral addictions impact physical heath. Data reported in this review documented that individuals with gaming or gambling disorders have an impaired physical health. Knowledge of the symptoms reported could help primary care physicians to better screen for gambling and gaming disorders among their patients.

Online writing about positive life experiences reduces depression and perceived stress reactivity in socially inhibited individuals

Therapeutic writing can enhance psychological and physical health. Recent studies have suggested that these kinds of interventions can be effective when delivered online. The present study investigated whether positive emotional writing online can influence psychological and physical health in individuals reporting high levels of negative affectivity, who are most likely to benefit from psychological intervention (N = 72, Mage = 28.5, SDage = 8.7), and further, to investigate the potential moderating role of social inhibition. Participants completed self-report measures of physical symptoms, perceived stress, perceived stress reactivity, depression and generalised anxiety, before completing either i) positive emotional writing, or ii) a non-emotive control writing task on an online portal, for 20 min per day over three consecutive days. State anxiety was measured immediately after each writing session, and self-report questionnaires were again administered four weeks post-writing. Socially inhibited individuals exhibited significant reductions in depression and perceived stress reactivity four weeks following positive emotional writing, relative to writing about a neutral topic. The present study supports the efficacy of online therapeutic writing in individuals who, due to their socially inhibited nature, are most likely to benefit from online interventions which avoid interaction with a therapist or other clients.

TOGETHER THROUGH DEMENTIA: MEASURING RELATIONSHIP SATISFACTION FOR VETERANS WITH DEMENTIA AND THEIR SPOUSES

Current and prior relationship quality can have significant impacts on the mental and physical health of individuals with dementia (IWD) and their spousal caregivers (CGs). Yet, marital satisfaction is not often assessed. This poster examines use of the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS), a widely-researched marriage counseling tool, for contextualizing interpersonal factors beyond established measures of quality-of-life (QoL), burden, and depression. Community-dwelling spousal CGs (n = 49) and Veterans with dementia (n = 37) completed self-report measures including dyadic relationship satisfaction/distress, mutuality, QoL, depression, burden, and the IWD’s cognitive status. Descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations, and regressions were performed. Scores on the DAS significantly correlated with CG QoL (.567, p < .001), CG depression (-.525, p < .001), CG burden (-.428, p = .002), IWD’s cognitive status (.355, p = .034), and IWD social engagement (-.424, p = .011). IWD-reported DAS scores were positively correlated with IWD QoL (.381, p = .024), CG QoL (.340, p = .043), and IWD subjective health (.360, p =.031). Regression analysis showed CG DAS (b = .188, β = .464, p = .002) and IWD social engagement (b = -2.806, β = -.37, p = .012) are significantly predictive of CG QoL; F(2, 32) = 15.865, p < .001; R2 = .495. Findings suggest that the DAS provides important relationship quality insights and may improve QoL needs assessments for caregiving support and respite services, including CG willingness to continue in the CG role. Examining the DAS longitudinally could also inform intervention delivery as dementia severity progresses.

Bus service indicator: The different sight of performance index development

Public transportation (PT) contributes to both the economical and physical health of individuals, it brings financial benefits to communities, and a key component of a healthy business ecosystem by increasing mobility options. The objective of this research is to develop a bus performance index of the existing PT system. This research utilised the multi-method approaches in Penang based on the perceptions and expectations of the bus users. A developed TRANSQUAL model is based on the existing SERVQUAL model, producing a set of 34 benchmark items and 7 dimensions that consist of reliability, safety, environment, responsiveness, accessibility, infrastructure and image as discussed in previous articles. Further study enhanced through the TRANSQUAL application, deficiencies of bus system performance in certain route is identified and might be improved. Subsequently, the bus performance index for each route was determined through the application of the mathematical composite index. Meanwhile, it can act as a monitoring aid to the service provider. At that point, service quality can be enhanced and the public will be attracted to use the buses as the main means of transportation.

Physical health in individuals with psychiatric disorders in Austria

IntroductionThe association between severe psychiatric disorders and metabolic syndrome is well documented and goes along with a reduced life expectancy. The prevalence of medical comorbidities in individuals suffering from psychiatric disorders in Austria has not yet been examined; aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of comorbid somatic disorder in individuals diagnosed with psychiatric disorders in Austria. MethodsPatients (n = 600) with a life-time diagnosis of mood and anxiety disorders undergoing a six-week course of intensive treatment in a psychiatric rehabilitation center were recruited. Prevalent somatic and psychological conditions, anamnestic data, medical history, blood samples, clinical and psychological tests as well as medication were examined to determine somatic and psychiatric diagnoses. ResultsMetabolic disorders were highly prevalent especially in individuals diagnosed with affective disorders, respectively in bipolar disorder. Furthermore, obesity and thyroid dysfunction were found in about 40% of individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder in the present study. Significant gender differences were found in CVD and hypertension with higher prevalence in men, while thyroid dysfunction occurred more often in women also compared to the general female population. ConclusionsCharacterizing somatic comorbidity in individuals with psychiatric disorders can stimulate research to better understand possible shared etiologic factors and has public health implications for improving models of care. This could have a positive effect on the course of mental disorders, and additionally improve social integration and life expectancy. Knowledge about sex differences should be used to further improve individualized treatment of individuals with psychiatric disorders.

Examining physical activity and correlates in adults with healthy weight, overweight/obesity, or binge-eating disorder.

To examine physical activity and correlates among three subgroups of adults: healthy weight without binge eating (HW), overweight/obesity without binge eating (OW/OB), and core features of binge-eating disorder (BED). Participants (N = 2,384) completed an online survey with established measures of physical activity, eating psychopathology, and health. Most participants were White (82.6%) women (66.7%). Participants were categorized into three study groups: HW (n = 948; 39.9%), OW/OB (n = 1,308; 55.1%), and BED (n = 120; 5.1%). The BED group had the highest proportion of self-reported insufficiently active individuals (63.8%), followed by OW/OB (41.7%), and HW (29.2%). Associations between self-reported physical activity, eating pathology, and health were generally small in HW and OW/OB groups, whereas associations were moderate in the BED group. Self-reported weekly bouts of physical activity were more strongly, positively related to self-reported physical health for OW/OB than HW, and this effect was even more pronounced for BED compared with HW or OW/OB. This is the first study, to our knowledge, to demonstrate a stronger association between self-reported physical activity and physical health for individuals with BED compared with OW/OB alone. The high rate of physical inactivity and the strong association between physical activity and health among participants with BED suggest physical activity as an important treatment target for individuals with BED.

THE RELATIONSHIP SELF-FORGIVENESS WITH QUALITY OF LIFE IN HIV / AIDS PATIENTS AT POLYCLINIC VCT MOJOKERTO REGENCY

ABSTRACT&#x0D; &#x0D; The number of people with HIV / AIDS is like an iceberg, which appears to be only a small part. At present, HIV cannot be cured. This condition has a comprehensive impact on patients. Through Self-forgiveness, it is expected that patients can reduce negative feelings or emotions, so that they will be motivated to change their behavior for the better. The research objective proved the relationship self forgiveness with quality of life in HIV/AIDS patients. The research design was analytic correlation with Cross Sectional approach. The Sample was all patient of HIV / AIDS (selected who were diagnosed with HIV / AIDS because of sexual relations) who undergoing treatment in Polyclinic VCT Mojokerto Regency amounting to 122 people, with consecutive sampling. The independent variable was self forgiveness and the dependent variable was quality of life in HIV/AIDS patients. The instrument used a HFS (Heartland Forgiveness Scale) questionnaire for self-forgiveness. WHOQOL-HIV BREF for quality of life. The result of Spearman-Rho Correlation showed significant = 0.000, so a positive relationship between Self-Forgiveness and Quality of Life in HIV / AIDS. Respondents who have high self-forgiveness, also have a good quality of life, as many as 55 respondents (44.8%) and very good, that is as many as 25 respondents (20.7%). Forgiveness can affect the physical health of individuals and the factors that affect self-forgiveness, namely, the emergence of empathy, emotional intelligence, self-reflection, and personality characteristics. Improvement of quality of life can occur if the HIV / AIDS patient has been able to accept his condition, transforming himself into an open person and always apply the forgiveness attitude and can forgive or forgive the incident ever done by himself or others, so as to neutralize the negative feelings into positive.&#x0D; Keywords: Self Forgiveness. Quality of Life, HIV/AIDS&#x0D;

Telephone-delivered psychosocial interventions targeting key health priorities in adults with a psychotic disorder: systematic review.

The mental and physical health of individuals with a psychotic illness are typically poor. Access to psychosocial interventions is important but currently limited. Telephone-delivered interventions may assist. In the current systematic review, we aim to summarise and critically analyse evidence for telephone-delivered psychosocial interventions targeting key health priorities in adults with a psychotic disorder, including (i) relapse, (ii) adherence to psychiatric medication and/or (iii) modifiable cardiovascular disease risk behaviours. Ten peer-reviewed and four grey literature databases were searched for English-language studies examining psychosocial telephone-delivered interventions targeting relapse, medication adherence and/or health behaviours in adults with a psychotic disorder. Study heterogeneity precluded meta-analyses. Twenty trials [13 randomised controlled trials (RCTs)] were included, involving 2473 participants (relapse prevention = 867; medication adherence = 1273; and health behaviour = 333). Five of eight RCTs targeting relapse prevention and one of three targeting medication adherence reported at least 50% of outcomes in favour of the telephone-delivered intervention. The two health-behaviour RCTs found comparable levels of improvement across treatment conditions. Although most interventions combined telephone and face-to-face delivery, there was evidence to support the benefit of entirely telephone-delivered interventions. Telephone interventions represent a potentially feasible and effective option for improving key health priorities among people with psychotic disorders. Further methodologically rigorous evaluations are warranted.

Committed Action, Disability and Perceived Health in Individuals with Fibromyalgia

ABSTRACTCommitted action, one of the components of psychological flexibility, has been shown to be related with measures of pain-relevant function domains in patients with chronic pain. However, the associations between measures of committed action and of physical health and function in individuals with fibromyalgia (FM) have not yet been examined. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to better understand the role that committed action plays in (1) pain-related disability and (2) mental and physical health in individuals with FM. One hundred twenty-nine adult females with a diagnosis of FM from a rheumatologist were administered measures of committed action, disability, physical health, and mental health. After controlling for age and pain intensity, committed action explained an additional 24% of the variance of pain disability, 39% of the variance of physical health, and 41% of the variance of mental health. This study provides important new information on the associations between a measure of committed action and perceived health and function in a sample of women with FM. The findings are also consistent with the psychological flexibility model for understanding pain and its impact in patients with FM.

The Physical Health of Individuals Receiving Antipsychotic Medication: A Qualitative Inquiry on Experiences and Needs

ABSTRACTIndividuals with a mental illness are reported to have a reduced life expectancy and a greater risk of being affected by preventable physical illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes. This inquiry sought to identify the physical health beliefs, experiences and needs of individuals with mental health problems in receipt of antipsychotic medication who live in the community. A qualitative inquiry was undertaken using three focus groups in a community mental health service in Ireland with 21 participants with mental health problems who were treated with antipsychotic medication. The participants were clear about the importance of good physical health as well as good mental health. They disliked the adverse effects of antipsychotic medication and experienced many barriers in accessing general practitioners/primary care services. They also preferred to receive health advice and self-management advice from the mental health services. The participants in this study were aware of the need to engage in health protective behaviours but were often overwhelmed by their comorbid health issues and the organizational and communication barriers in accessing their general practitioners.

Weight Bias and Stigma: Public Health Implications and Structural Solutions

AbstractWeight bias is a widespread form of prejudice that leads to the stigmatization of individuals who are perceived to have excess weight. Several psychological theories have been used to explain weight bias and to understand its negative impact on the mental and physical health of individuals with overweight and obesity. Top‐down approaches are needed to reduce weight stigma and its adverse health consequences at the population‐level. Potential targets for stigma‐reduction policies include weight‐based discrimination in the workplace, bullying and discrimination in educational settings, stigma in health care, and stereotypical media portrayals. These proposed policies have strong support from the public and stakeholders and, with further implementation and evaluation, may serve as promising structural interventions for addressing societal weight stigma.

Have you seen My PAL?’Physical Achievement Log (PAL): A physical health tool for people with serious mental illness (SMI)

Background to the problem: The physical health of individuals SMIis a cause for growing concern (Robson et al. 2013). Individuals with a SMI have a reduced life expectancy of up to 10-15 years due to physical ill health, in comparison to the general population (Collins, Tranter and Irvine 2012). The physical health care of this cohort has been described by Hemingway et.al (2014) as a ‘silent sandal’. The interest toward the development of ‘My PAL’ emerged from the findings of ‘PHILIP’ (2014) a local study conducted within the Dublin South Central, Dublin North and Kildare West Wicklow mental health services. This study highlighted the increased prevalence of overweight and obesity within a small cohort (n=69) of mental health service users. My Physical Achievement Log is a pilot study currently being conducted within an Assertive Outreach Team within the Dublin South Central Mental Health service. My PAL is a service user held empowerment tool which is pocket sized, enabling to the individual to carry at all times. It acts as prompter or a guide for the individual when attending GP appointments or other health related appointments. It includes a checklist of the physical health markers which when are not checked or followed up on are contributing to the physical ill health of this cohort. This checklist is solely for the individual to complete however support is provided by the key Nurse. My PAL also includes an action planning section whereby when an issue relating to their physical health is identified; a plan is devised between the individual and their nurse. This plan is incorporated into their individualised care plan. My PAL is an educational tool used in partnership with the service user encouraging them to be an active participant within their physical health care. Workshop Objective: The objective of the workshop is to share My PAL with fellow health professionals in a bid to raise awareness and divert greater attention to the physical health of those with SMI. Target audience: This workshop is targeted at all healthcare professionals, specifically those working with individuals with SMI. Or anyone who has an interest in the physical health of this cohort. Conclusion: In the absence of local and national policies relating to the physical health care of this cohort, ‘My PAL’ aims to empower and activate individuals to take ownership of their physical health. It is recovery orientated and embraces service user involvement in its development. It may help improve the physical outcomes of this cohort.

The ethics of exercise in eating disorders: Can an ethical principles approach guide the next generation of research and clinical practice?

Eating disorders (ED) are the most common psychiatric disorders afflicting young women1 and contribute to great detriments in psychological, social, and physical health.2, 3 Unfortunately, ED treatments tend to be long lasting, intensive, and expensive.4 Additionally, individuals with ED seeking treatment use healthcare services more frequently than non-ED individuals, thereby placing an added burden on the healthcare system.5 The severe nature of ED, high cost of treatment, and added healthcare burden provide rational support for examining efficacious, easily disseminated, innovative, and cost-effective ED interventions that may improve treatment outcomes. The multidimensional etiology of ED suggests that optimal interventions must also be multifaceted.6, 7 Therefore, it may be more effective to identify treatment strategies that impact both psychological and physiological processes and consequently impact the progression of multiple factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of ED. Accordingly, the comprehensive health benefits provided by exercise have led researchers to consider exercise as an ED treatment. It should be noted that exercise refers to a form of physical activity undertaken with intent to obtain a specific objective or desired outcome.8 Thus, distinguishing whether that objective is to facilitate symptoms of an ED (i.e., compensatory exercise) or to obtain a health outcome (i.e., therapeutic exercise) is paramount in individuals with ED. Several literature reviews of studies that used exercise in ED treatment have concluded that therapeutic exercise is a safe9 and potentially effective adjunct to ED treatment.10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 Moreover, a recent meta-analysis of studies that have examined exercise in the treatment of anorexia nervosa (i.e., underweight individuals for whom exercise has been previously restricted) found that nutritionally supported exercise resulted in no detrimental effects, distorted feelings about food and exercise were reduced, cardiovascular fitness improved, and there was no decrease in weight or other detrimental anthropometric outcomes.9 However, there is an ethical concern that any form of exercise may cause harm in individuals with ED, which has led many clinicians and researchers to recommend avoiding exercise in ED at all costs. For example, 97% of clinicians surveyed in the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand reported they believe that exercise is related to ED.16 Not surprisingly, a different study of how ED treatment centers approach physical activity found that exercise was generally considered harmful in ED, approximately one third of treatment centers did not assess exercise or physical activity, and that incorporating exercise into treatment was much less common in ED than treatment approaches for other mental health conditions.17 This lack of clarity may be due to ambiguous clinical recommendations in treatment manuals to address physical activity attitudes while also restricting physical activity.18 One possibility as to why therapeutic exercise has been overlooked in ED treatment may be the potential for unsupervised, compensatory exercise performed during times of severe nutritional deficiency to exacerbate ED pathology. This overly cautious view is not supported by the emerging literature on the therapeutic potential of exercise in ED treatment and further alienates individuals with ED from taking control of their own health. Moreover, it minimizes the role and will of individuals with ED in their recovery by ignoring the potential for exercise to be used as part of living a healthy lifestyle that matches socially determined norms. Simply stated, restricting all forms of exercise is an ethical issue because doing so eliminates autonomy, respect, empathy, and dignity19 for individuals with ED by preventing them from partaking in socially acceptable healthy lifestyle behaviors and take control of their recovery. Clinical and research efforts guided by the ethical principles of nonmaleficence, beneficence, respect for autonomy, and justice20 may be a better approach to empowering individuals with ED as they work toward recovery. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to present an ethical perspective for clinicians and researchers to consider for the use of exercise as a potential treatment modality for ED. Allowing such a view may provide opportunity to re-evaluate previously misunderstood or ignored aspects of the relationships among exercise, mental health, and physical health of individuals with ED.

The association between Korean workers' presenteeism and psychosocial factors within workplaces.

BackgroundPresenteeism, a concept that has recently undergone active study, is the act of attending work while sick. This study investigates the association between presenteeism and various psychosocial factors within workplaces.MethodsThis study analyzed 29246 wage earners from the third Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS, 2011) data using the logistic regression analysis to investigate the association between presenteeism and various psychosocial factors within workplaces.ResultsAmong the 29246 wage earners, 6347 (21.7 %) showed presenteeism. Those who experienced age discrimination at work (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.77: 95 % CI 1.56–2.00), educational background discrimination (aOR 1.35: 95 % CI 1.22–1.51), regional discrimination (aOR 1.55: 95 % CI 1.31–1.83), sexual discrimination (aOR 1.65: 95 % CI 1.41–1.94), employment type discrimination (aOR 2.13: 95 % CI 1.89–2.40), physical violence (aOR 1.92: 95 % CI 1.45–2.55), sexual harassment (aOR 2.90: 95 % CI 2.01–4.19), job insecurity (aOR 1.36: 95 % CI 1.18–1.56), work–life imbalance (aOR 1.38: 95 % CI 1.29–1.47), low job satisfaction (aOR 2.04: 95 % CI 1.91–2.17), no colleague support (aOR 1.11: 95 % CI 1.02–1.21), job stress (aOR 1.89: 95 % CI 1.76–2.02), emotional labor (aOR 1.50: 95 % CI 1.41–1.60), high work intensity (aOR 1.31: 95 % CI 1.23–1.38), and 3 groups of job strain that are passive group (aOR 1.09: 95 % CI 1.00–1.18), active group (aOR 1.39: 95 % CI 1.28–1.51), and high strain group (aOR 1.35: 95 % CI 1.24–1.46) showed an increased risk of presenteeism compared to their respective counterparts (p < 0.01).ConclusionsThe study results confirmed the association between presenteeism and various psychosocial factors within workplaces. Considering that presenteeism negatively affects productivity and the mental and physical health of individuals, managing various psychosocial factors within workplaces is proposed to reduce presenteeism.
