Nurses play a vital role in ensuring effective patient care delivery and organizational productivity. Hence, it becomes imperative to prioritize their psychological well-being and explore how its impairment may be associated with their productivity loss.
The study aims to investigate the relationship between nurses' psychological well-being and their work productivity loss by examining how nurses self-reported their own psychological well-being and work productivity loss.
A descriptive correlational design was conducted at an Egyptian university hospital. A convenience sample of 400 nurses completed two tools: (a) Outcome Questionnaire-45 was used to assess the psychological well-being of nurses and (b) the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment - General Health Questionnaire was used to measure nurses' work productivity.
Among the 400 surveyed nurses, 66.7% reported overall poor psychological well-being. Regarding work productivity loss, 22.8% of nurses missed an average of 974.81 work hours due to absenteeism, and 62.0% lost an average of 10,630 work hours due to presenteeism. Additionally, 75.5% experienced impaired daily living activities. Approximately 13.4% of total working hours were missed due to health problems or psychological distress. Regression analysis revealed that poor psychological well-being significantly predicts work productivity loss, accounting for 2.0% of absenteeism, 11.0% of presenteeism, 17.0% of daily activity impairment, and 9.0% of overall productivity loss, with the model being significant ( < 0.01).
Nurses often experience poor psychological well-being and distress that hinder their daily activities and cause work productivity loss. Therefore, hospital management should prioritize improving nurses' physical and mental health and bolstering their self-efficacy and resilience to minimize the effects of symptom distress on productivity. Investing in nurses' well-being through managerial caring, organizational support, and fostering a supportive work environment are vital strategies for promoting quality patient care and enhancing their work productivity.
护士在确保有效的患者护理服务和组织生产力方面发挥着至关重要的作用。因此，优先考虑他们的心理健康并探索其受损与生产力损失之间的关联变得势在必行。
本研究旨在通过考察护士如何自我报告其心理健康状况和工作生产力损失，来探究护士心理健康与工作生产力损失之间的关系。
在一家埃及大学医院进行了描述性相关性设计。抽取了400名护士作为便利样本，他们完成了两项测评工具：（a）使用《结果问卷 - 45》评估护士的心理健康状况，（b）使用《工作生产力与活动障碍 - 一般健康问卷》测量护士的工作生产力。
在400名接受调查的护士中，66.7%报告总体心理健康状况不佳。在工作生产力损失方面，22.8%的护士因缺勤平均错过974.81个工时，62.0%的护士因出勤不出力平均损失10630个工时。此外，75.5%的护士日常生活活动受到影响。由于健康问题或心理困扰，约13.4%的总工作时间被错过。回归分析显示，心理健康状况不佳显著预测工作生产力损失，占缺勤的2.0%、出勤不出力的11.0%、日常活动受损的17.0%以及总体生产力损失的9.0%，该模型具有显著性（<0.01）。
护士经常经历心理健康状况不佳和困扰，这会妨碍他们的日常活动并导致工作生产力损失。因此，医院管理层应优先改善护士的身心健康，增强他们的自我效能感和恢复力，以尽量减少症状困扰对生产力的影响。通过管理关怀、组织支持以及营造支持性的工作环境来投资护士的福祉，是促进优质患者护理和提高其工作生产力的重要策略。
