Sickness absenteeism, of hospital employees particularly, is a problem of concern due to its negative economic and morale impacts. The aim of the first stage of the study was to identify according to some demographic (sex, age, marital status) and occupational (occupational group, duration of hospital employment) variables those groups of hospital employees who are at higher risk of sickness absenteeism. A comparison with the data of the study performed in the same hospital about 15 years ago showed a rise in the duration of absences with a simultaneous reduction in their incidence. Sickness absenteeism was higher among female, mainly unskilled, workers, presently or previously married, aged from 45 to 60, and employed in the hospital for over ten years. Continuous social and medical surveillance of these employees is suggested as a promising way of reducing sickness absenteeism.
因病缺勤，尤其是医院员工的因病缺勤，因其负面的经济和士气影响而成为一个令人担忧的问题。该研究第一阶段的目的是根据一些人口统计学（性别、年龄、婚姻状况）和职业（职业群体、在医院工作的时长）变量，确定哪些医院员工群体因病缺勤的风险较高。与大约15年前在同一家医院进行的研究数据相比，缺勤时长有所增加，同时发病率有所下降。女性、主要是非技术工人、目前或以前已婚、年龄在45至60岁之间且在医院工作超过十年的员工因病缺勤率更高。建议对这些员工进行持续的社会和医疗监测，作为减少因病缺勤的一种可行方法。
