Abstract

Objectives: This study investigated the common health conditions leading to presenteeism and the economic impact among Japanese workers in the post-COVID-19 era.

Methods: Between February and March 2023, 10,000 workers responded to a web-based, cross-sectional survey on health problems that interfered with their work, degree of presenteeism, and teleworking status.

Results: Approximately 35.6% of workers faced health problems that impacted their work. The primary health problems leading to presenteeism were low back pain, neck pain/stiff shoulders, and mental illness, which varied slightly with age and work style. The estimated annual costs due to presenteeism per 1000 employees were $488,210 for low back pain, $346,308 for neck pain/stiff shoulders, and $327,137 for mental illness.

Conclusions: Our findings suggest that presenteeism measures, primarily for musculoskeletal pain and mental health problems, are required to increase work productivity.

后covid -19时代日本工人健康状况导致的出勤及其经济影响

目的：本研究调查了后covid -19时代日本工人中导致出勤的常见健康状况及其经济影响。方法：在2023年2月至3月期间，10,000名工人参与了一项基于网络的横断面调查，调查内容涉及影响他们工作的健康问题、出勤程度和远程工作状态。结果：约35.6%的工人面临影响其工作的健康问题。导致出勤的主要健康问题是腰痛、颈痛/肩膀僵硬和精神疾病，这些问题随年龄和工作方式略有不同。据估计，每1000名员工每年因出勤而导致的成本为腰痛488,210美元，颈痛/肩膀僵硬346,308美元，精神疾病327,137美元。结论：我们的研究结果表明，主要针对肌肉骨骼疼痛和心理健康问题的出勤措施是提高工作效率所必需的。
