Abstract

Objectives: Chronic skin diseases (CSD) may lead to productivity losses. This mixed-methods study investigated symptom severity, social challenges, need for workplace accommodation, sick leave, and their association with perceived impaired work performance (IWP) among workers with CSD.

Methods: Data were collected from April to June 2023. Participants (n = 102) completed an online questionnaire sent from the Institute for Occupational Safety and Hygiene and almost 20% were interviewed. The analyses included logistic regression and structural equation models and a thematic analysis.

Results: Of participants, 72.3% reported perceived IWP. The need for workplace accommodation and sick leave duration were directly associated with IWP. These findings were integrated with common themes based on a socioecological approach.

Conclusions: By working together to address personal, interpersonal, organizational, and societal aspects associated with CSD, occupational physicians and stakeholders can alleviate perceived IWP.

工作绩效的社会生态学方法：慢性皮肤病工人的试点研究。

目的：慢性皮肤病（CSD）可能导致生产力损失。本研究调查了CSD患者的症状严重程度、社会挑战、工作场所住宿需求、病假及其与感知工作绩效受损（IWP）的关系。方法：数据采集时间为2023年4 - 6月。参与者（n = 102）完成了职业安全与卫生研究所发送的在线问卷，其中近20%接受了采访。分析包括逻辑回归和结构方程模型以及专题分析。结果：在参与者中，72.3%报告了IWP。工作场所住宿和病假时间的需要与国际生产力直接相关。这些发现与基于社会生态学方法的共同主题相结合。结论：职业医生和利益相关者通过共同努力解决与CSD相关的个人、人际、组织和社会方面的问题，可以减轻感知的IWP。
