Clinical Managing Editor, Karen Roush, talks with Susan
Letvak about her research on nurse’s presenteeism, the loss of
productivity associated with working with health problems. Letvak
discusses why presenteeism is prevalent in nursing, the impact it
has on quality of care, and its economic costs. She gives nurses
ideas on what can be done to decrease presenteeism – from the role
of the bedside nurse to the organizational and policy
levels.
