To examine the associations between sickness presenteeism (SP) reported as number of days with SP reported as number of times and to evaluate their responsiveness.
The study population (n = 454) consisted of employed individuals, at risk of long-term sickness absence. Correlation analyses were performed to examine associations between the two SP measures and external constructs such as work performance, general health, and registered sick leave. Both SP constructs were measured several times to examine responsiveness.
The SP measures are moderately correlated. They moderately correlated with work performance and health status measures. SP reported as number of times seems to be more sensitive than number of days in detecting changes after rehabilitation.
Numerical or categorical constructs are valid sources of data on SP. However, categorized SP seems to be more responsive.
探讨报告的病假缺勤天数和报告的病假缺勤次数这两种病假缺勤方式之间的关联，并评估其反应度。
研究对象（n=454）为有长期病假缺勤风险的在职人员。采用相关分析来检验两种病假缺勤方式与工作绩效、一般健康状况和登记病假天数等外部结构之间的关联。两次以上测量两种病假缺勤方式来检验其反应度。
两种病假缺勤方式中度相关。它们与工作绩效和健康状况测量指标中度相关。报告的病假缺勤次数似乎比报告的病假缺勤天数更能敏感地检测到康复后的变化。
数字或分类结构是病假缺勤数据的有效来源。然而，分类病假缺勤似乎更具反应性。
