Description
Background: Presenteeism has emerged as an important health-related issue and has been studied in a variety of occupation groups. This study examines the relationship between emotional labor and presenteeism in nurses in Republic of Korea.
Methods: As a cross-sectional study, our study was conducted on 328 female nurses participating in the
fourth Korean Working Conditions Survey (2015). Nurses were identified by the Korean Industry Clas-
sification Code. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the association between emotional labor and presenteeism.
Results: Female nurses who always or sometimes hide their emotions in the workplace were found to
have a high risk for presenteeism compared with female nurses who rarely hide their emotions in the
workplace {odds ratio [OR] 1⁄4 2.40 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04e5.54]; OR 1⁄4 4.12 [95% CI 1.72e9.84], respectively}. Furthermore, the risk of presenteeism was higher in nurses who sometimes engaged with complaining customers compared with nurses who rarely did so, but it lacked statistical significance.
Conclusion: Presenteeism in nurses can cause various negative secondary effects; therefore, an alternative should be sought to mediate nurses' emotional labor to prevent presenteeism.
