Abstract

to identify factors related to sick leave absenteeism among Brazilian nursing professionals before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

a cross-sectional study involving nursing professionals from medical, surgical, intensive care, and adult emergency units, with absences recorded between 2019 and 2022. Sociodemographic, occupational, and absence-related variables were evaluated. Descriptive statistical analysis, absenteeism rate calculation, and Poisson Regression with robust variance were performed, considering p≤0.05.

a sample of 839 professionals, with 7,375 absences, was analyzed. Sick leave absenteeism resulted in an average of 54.1±2.5 lost days (p<0.001) and was more prevalent among professionals aged 41 years or younger (31.8%; p=0.003). The intensive care (31.3%) and medical inpatient (27.5%) units reported the highest number of absences. The highest absenteeism rate (9.9%) occurred in July 2020. The risk of illness was associated with male gender (p≤0.001) and intensive care unit work (p=0.007) in the 1st period; being single (p=0.002) and being a nursing technician (p=0.022) in the 2nd period; and working in intensive care (p=0.003) and as a nursing technician (p≤0.001) in the 3rd period.

after the end of the pandemic, absenteeism rates did not return to pre-pandemic levels. COVID-19 and musculoskeletal diseases were the most prevalent causes. It was possible to investigate the factors related to absenteeism.

在大流行之前、期间和之后，与巴西护理专业人员疾病缺勤有关的因素。

确定与2019冠状病毒病大流行之前、期间和之后巴西护理专业人员病假缺勤相关的因素。一项横断面研究，涉及医疗、外科、重症监护和成人急诊室的护理专业人员，记录了2019年至2022年期间的缺勤情况。评估社会人口学、职业和缺席相关变量。考虑p≤0.05，进行描述性统计分析、旷工率计算和稳健方差Poisson回归。研究人员分析了839名专业人士的样本，其中有7375人缺勤。病假缺勤导致平均损失54.1±2.5天（大流行结束后，缺勤率没有恢复到大流行前的水平）。COVID-19和肌肉骨骼疾病是最常见的原因。调查与旷工有关的因素是可能的。
