Le présentéisme est un problème important au sein de la population active et le personnel infirmier n’échappe pas à ce phénomène. L’objectif de l’étude était de déterminer la perte de productivité due au présentéisme selon trois dimensions et d’évaluer les facteurs associés chez les infirmières. Une étude transversale a été menée auprès de 309 infirmières afin d’évaluer le présentéisme à l’aide de l’échelle de présentéisme de Stanford (SPS), du questionnaire sur la performance de santé (HPQ) et de l’inventaire de la productivité au travail (WPSI).

Objectives. Presenteeism is a significant problem among the working force and nurse is not an exception from these phenomena. The purpose of the study was to determine the productivity loss due to presenteeism from three dimensions and to evaluates the associated factors among nurses. Methods. A cross sectional study was conducted among 309 nurses to evaluate presenteeism using Stanford Presenteeism Scale (SPS), Health Performance Questionnaire (HPQ) and Work Productivity Short Inventory (WPSI). Results. The study found that nurses had a high level of presenteeism through using SPS (21.0 ± 4.3) and HPQ (80.0 ± 18.2). In Both scales, presenteeism was significantly associated with nurses who were older than 32 years, with an experience of more than 10 years, having children, and having two children. The results of WPSI showed that the productivity loss of presenteeism per nurse annually was 1,959 USD and for all nurses 605,283 USD. Conclusion. Eventually, evaluating the presenteeism level will help policymakers to understand the working conditions and related personal characteristics.
