Factors Associated with the Work Productivity of Japanese Working Pregnant Women: A Cross-Sectional Study.
2021
OBJECTIVES Working pregnant women experience physical and psychosocial changes, which are associated with two aspects of work productivity: presenteeism and absenteeism. We examined the factors that affect these two aspects. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in April-May 2019 through an online survey. Participants were 450 working women who were pregnant for the first time. RESULTS Occupational stress (job overload sβ: 0.14, suitable jobs sβ: 0.16); physical conditions, such as pregnancy complications (sβ: 0.32) and gestational period (sβ: 0.18); and adjustment status in the workplace due to pregnancy, such as pregnancy disclosure (sβ: 0.11) and pregnancy discrimination (sβ: 0.18), were related to presenteeism. Meanwhile, pregnancy complications were the only factor associated with absenteeism (sβ: 0.32; all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In addition to physical condition support, support for psychosocial conditions in the workplace is required.
