L’objectif de cette étude était de mesurer l’association du travail à domicile (TAD) avec la perte de productivité au travail due aux responsabilités de soins ou aux problèmes de santé pendant la pandémie de COVID-19.
Objective Measure the association of working from home (WFH) with work productivity loss due to caregiving responsibilities or health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods We conducted an online survey of family/friend caregivers (N = 150 WFH/75 Non-WFH) and patients (N = 95/91) who worked during the past 7 days in May and July 2020, respectively. Absenteeism and presenteeism were measured using the Valuation of Lost Productivity questionnaire. Results WFH was associated with higher odds of absenteeism (OR = 2.53 (95% CI:1.11-5.77)) and presenteeism (2.79 (1.26-6.18)) among caregivers and higher odds of presenteeism among patients (2.78 (1.13-6.84)). However, among caregivers with absenteeism>0 days, WFH was significantly associated with fewer absent workdays. Conclusions WFH was not associated with overall absenteeism and presenteeism in caregivers or patients. WFH allows a more flexible and inclusive workplace without impacting productivity, although further research is needed.
