among the Nurses of Public Hospitals | Author Name : | | SAJIDA BATOOL1, MUHAMMAD AFZAL, Prof. Dr. SYED AMIR GILLANI | Publisher : | | Bridge Center | Article URL : | | | Abstract : | | Purpose: The purpose of the study is to analyze the
determinants responsible for absenteeism among the nurses of public
hospitals of Lahore.
Methodology: The cross-sectional research design was used to
analyze the factors causing the staff absenteeism in health care setting.
The setting of this study was public hospitals of Lahore Pakistan.
Sample was selected by simple random sampling technique. Target
population was the staff nurses of the Punjab Institute of Cardiology.
Data was gathered from the target population by floating
questionnaire. Ethical consideration was applied. People are free to
participate in the study and ensured the confidentiality.
Results: The results show that 70.29% participants agreed
that they were being absent from work place due to workload and they
also perform duty while other colleagues were absent. The study
findings show that poor working condition also contributed to
absenteeism as agreed by 67.5% of respondents. Same case happened
regarding salary. Study’s results show the significant positive
relationship among the poor working condition and the absenteeism,
employee’s salary and absenteeism and also among poor working
condition and absenteeism. Conclusion: Absenteeism has become a major challenge for
health care organizations. The study concludes that the poor working
condition of the hospital need to be improved in order to accommodate
employees’ basic needs and the management should maintain staff
patient ratio because it put pressure on nurses as excessive workload
and this leads to the absenteeism among nurses. Hospitals should also
emphasize on the salaries of the nurses to avoid the absenteeism. | Keywords : | | Absenteeism, Poor Working Conditions, Salary,
