Abstract

Objective: To investigate perceived task privacy in 2022 associated with short (1-3 days) self-certified sickness absence (SA) in 2023.

Methods: A prospective cohort of 1400 Finnish office workers with survey data in 2022 about, for example, task privacy, telework, and office type were linked with employer-owned register data of SA in 2022-2023. Poisson regression models were used to obtain risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals.

Results: Each one-unit increase in task privacy was associated with a less likely short SA (risk ratio, 0.83-0.89; 95% confidence interval, 0.74-0.97), also across the amount of telework in 2022. The association was only statistically significant in activity-based offices.

Conclusions: Each one-unit increase in perceived task privacy at the office was associated with less likely short, self-certified, 1-3 days SA. Task privacy is an important factor to be considered in offices.

一组芬兰上班族的工作场所隐私感知与短期病假的关系。

目的调查 2022 年感知到的工作隐私与 2023 年自我证明的短期（1-3 天）病假（SA）的相关性：将 2022 年对 1400 名芬兰上班族进行的任务隐私、远程工作和办公室类型等调查数据与 2022-2023 年雇主拥有的病假登记数据进行关联。采用泊松回归模型得出风险比（RR）及95%置信区间（CI）：任务私密性每增加一个单位都与较低的短时工作相关（RRs 0.83-0.89，95%CIs 0.74-0.97），并与 2022 年的远程工作数量相关。只有在以活动为基础的办公室中，这种关联才具有统计学意义：结论：办公室工作隐私感每增加一个单位，就会减少1-3天的短期自我认证。工作隐私是办公室需要考虑的一个重要因素。
