We examined the association between the presenteeism and the risk of divorce among Japanese workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A prospective study of 27,036 individuals was conducted starting in December 2020, with 18,560 (68.7%) participating in the follow-up in December 2021. The Work Functioning Impairment Scale (WFun) was used to measure the degree of work function impairment.
Compared with the group with the lowest WFun score, the odds ratio for the group with moderate WFun was 1.16 (95% confidence interval, 0.74 to 1.82; P = 0.525), and the odds ratio for the group with the highest WFun was 1.76 (95% confidence interval, 1.18 to 2.62; P = 0.006).
This study suggests that supporting workers with presenteeism has important implications not only from the perspective of labor productivity in management but also for the individual's quality of life in terms of family relationships.
本研究旨在探讨新冠肺炎疫情期间日本劳动者出勤主义与离婚风险之间的关系。
本前瞻性研究于 2020 年 12 月开始,共纳入 27036 名参与者,其中 18560 名(68.7%)于 2021 年 12 月完成随访。采用工作功能障碍量表(WFun)评估工作功能障碍程度。
与 WFun 评分最低组相比,WFun 评分中度组的比值比为 1.16(95%置信区间,0.74 至 1.82;P=0.525),WFun 评分最高组的比值比为 1.76(95%置信区间,1.18 至 2.62;P=0.006)。
本研究提示,不仅从管理角度的劳动生产力,而且从家庭关系方面的个体生活质量来看,支持出勤主义劳动者具有重要意义。
