Abstract

The article presents a study on the effect of worker and work environment factors on lengthy work absences among nurses in Canada. It explores a conceptual model for work absenteeism, which identifies the relationship between worker and workplace factors in determining the duration of work absences. It notes that considering several factors including workplace violence may address high prevalence of work absenteeism among Canadian nurses.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine differences in activity limitations at work among men and women, and the relative contributions that chronic conditions and occupational characteristics have on these differences. Methods: Secondary data from the Canadian Community Health Surveys were used. Path analysis examined the role of mediating variables (chronic conditions and occupational characteristics) in male-female differences in work activity limitations. Results: The prevalence of activity limitations at work was higher in women (15.0%) than in men (12.3%). Arthritis, migraines, diabetes, heart disease, and mood disorders, as well as high physical demands and prolonged standing were associated with an increased risk of work activity limitations. The increased risk of work activity limitations among women was completely explained by mediating variables. Conclusions: This study suggests that male-female differences in work activity limitations can be explained by differences in chronic conditions and occupational characteristics.
