Introdução. No Brasil, é grande a preocupação com o absenteísmo em muitos setores produtivos. Objetivo. Traçar o perfil de absenteísmo-doença em trabalhadores de higienização em uma instituição de ...ensino superior. Método. Estudo descritivo e retrospectivo com dados do Programa de Prevenção de Riscos Ambientais (PPRA), de 196 prontuários médicos e 2.880 atestados das estatísticas de absenteísmo-doença de 486 trabalhadores entre 2010 e 2014. Os dados foram tratados pelo IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0. Resultados. Houve predomínio do sexo feminino (92,9%), baixa escolaridade (51,5%), faixa etária de 31 a 45 anos (46%). As causas de absenteísmo-doença foram relacionadas com o capítulo Z da CID-10 (57,5%), correspondente aos Fatores que Influenciam o Estado de Saúde e o Contato com os Serviços de Saúde. Os riscos apurados pelo PPRA para os auxiliares de limpeza foram físico, químico e ergonômico. Conclusão. O perfil de absenteísmo-doença obtido apontou as doenças osteo-musculares e do tecido conjuntivo como as principais relacionadas às faltas com diagnóstico médico.

Chronic absenteeism can impact high school students’ long- and short-term development, especially in socio-economically challenged areas such as the Texas-Mexico border. We aimed to identify ...effective public school absenteeism policies and provide a roadmap for further investigation and state policy advocacy. This study analyzed four district-level school absenteeism policies in 88 public school districts along the Texas-Mexico border: requiring parental notification after one absence, offering incentives for student attendance, assignment of a Truancy Prevention Facilitator, and punishing students for absenteeism. District policies were collected through a review of district websites, student handbooks, codes of conduct, District Improvement Plans, and District of Innovation Plans. The chronic absenteeism and emergent bilingual/English learner (EB/EL) absenteeism rates reported in Texas Education Agency Texas Academic Performance Reports for grades 9-12 were utilized as attendance indicators. Hierarchical linear modeling, an ordinary least square regression-based analysis, was used to examine association relationships between the policies as independent variables and absenteeism rates as the dependent variables. School districts that do not offer attendance incentives and assign officers as truancy prevention facilitators have the highest predicted total chronic absenteeism rate; districts that do not offer attendance incentives and assign support services personnel as truancy prevention facilitators have the highest predicted EB/EL absenteeism rate. Districts with attendance incentives also are associated with higher EB/EL absenteeism. Identifying effective school policies to reduce chronic absenteeism will help districts better tailor the implementation of state policies and promote access to education and services.
The different approaches to absenteeism that have been made from different branches of science: economic, legal, medical and psychosocial, don’t help to define the concept and also they contribute to ...generate confusion. Multiple invocations of the term move on a ladder of generality at which most intension negatively correlated with the extension. Because when any absence from work is assimilated to absenteeism, almost everything fits; but the concept becomes vague and it fates in a jumble of adjectives that do not allow advance to their understanding. However, if we call absenteeism only the behaviors that have the basic attributes, many of the definitions we have discussed will not focus on absenteeism , but in return , we have a conceptual reference from which to study and to approach the phenomenon on public administration. For us, there are three necessary conditions, but not enough by themselves, they can face the phenomenon of absenteeism as a political science interest: the absence, lack of enabling cause and unproductive. Las distintas aproximaciones al absentismo que se han realizado desde diferentes ramas del conocimiento: económico, legal, médico y psicosocial, no sólo no han ayudado a definir el concepto sino que han aportado una considerable confusión. Las múltiples invocaciones al término se mueven en una escala de generalidad en la que la mayor intensión correlaciona negativamente con la extensión. Porque cuando se asimila cualquier ausencia del puesto de trabajo con el absentismo, casi todo cabe; pero el concepto se vuelve vago y se pierde en una mezcolanza de adjetivos que no permiten avanzar en su comprensión. Si por el contrario, sólo denominamos absentismo a las conductas que tengan los atributos básicos, muchas de las definiciones que hemos analizado no versarán sobre absentismo. Pero como contrapartida, tendremos una referencia conceptual desde la que estudiar y afrontar el fenómeno. Para nosotros son tres las condiciones necesarias, aunque no suficientes por sí mismas, que permiten afrontar el absentismo como un fenómeno de interés politológico: la ausencia, la inexistencia de causa habilitante y la improductividad.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare has been pushed to the limits. Nursing staff, being an essential aspect of healthcare, has had to bear the brunt of the situation. And as such, in the ...context of healthcare, the absenteeism of nurses is of great concern. Consequently, there is, in present times, a great need for research into absenteeism, its incidence, precedents and antecedents. This bibliometric review contributes to the literature by examining how the research has been carried out by identifying the relevant references, authors, topics and journals. Having compiled major research, in the last 25 years, in the field of nurse absenteeism, this review seeks to lay the groundwork for prospective research in the field. Analysing 87 articles published globally since 1996, this article reveals the contours of research by indicating the locales of the undertaken research, locating it within various themes and conceptual clusters. The article also reviews the antecedents of nurse absenteeism as indicated in the research. This review has been conducted in view of the near absence of bibliometric work in the field of nurse absenteeism. In systematizing the published literature, the state of the present research and the contours of future research are also laid out.
