To estimate the rate of sickness presenteeism in hospital doctors in a New Zealand tertiary hospital and to also identify reasons for why doctors continue to work whilst sick.
An anonymous online survey about sickness presenteeism for all hospital doctors at one tertiary care hospital in New Zealand
The response rate for the survey was 328/685 (47.8%). Sickness presenteeism was reported by 269/328 (82%) of respondents. The main reasons for sickness presenteeism were: not wanting to burden co-workers and the desire to ensure care for patients.
Sickness presenteeism is highly prevalent in this survey. It is likely a change in attitudes by doctors towards their illnesses, and better allocation of staff resources are necessary to prevent this to avoid potential harm to patients and health care workers.
评估新西兰一家三级医院住院医生带病上班的比例，并找出医生在生病时仍继续工作的原因。
针对新西兰一家三级护理医院的所有住院医生进行了一项关于带病上班的匿名在线调查。
调查的回复率为328/685（47.8%）。269/328（82%）的受访者报告有带病上班的情况。带病上班的主要原因是：不想给同事增加负担以及希望确保患者得到照料。
在本次调查中，带病上班的情况非常普遍。医生对自身疾病的态度可能需要改变，并且有必要更好地分配人力资源以防止这种情况发生，从而避免对患者和医护人员造成潜在伤害。
