Presenteeism and its relationship with resilience among pre-hospital emergency technicians: a multicenter cross-sectional study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPresenteeism is when individuals despite experiencing illness or discomfort that necessitates rest and absence from work, still attend their jobs. This type of presence poses challenges for both the individual and the organization. Among the strategies for adapting to and coping with workplace challenges is resilience. The present study aims to determine presenteeism and its relationship with resilience among pre-hospital emergency technicians for the first time in Iran.
methodsThis cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational, multicenter study was conducted between June and August 2024. The study population comprised all pre-hospital emergency technicians employed at 295 urban, road, and aerial pre-hospital emergency bases across 9 regions and 16 counties in Tehran Province, the capital of Iran. A total of 2,450 technicians were working at these bases. A proportional stratified random sampling method was used based on the number of bases and technicians in each region. Data were collected using the electronic version of the Stanford Presenteeism Scale, Emergency Medical Services Resilience Scale, and a demographic characteristics section. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS software version 28, at a significance level of P ≤ 0.05.
resultsOut of 500 pre-hospital emergency technicians who received the questionnaire link, 432 completed the survey. The participants' mean presenteeism score was 18.69 ± 4.98, indicating a moderate level. Their mean resilience score was 124.42 ± 14.02, reflecting a high level of resilience. A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between presenteeism and the dimensions of resilience. The strongest correlation was found between presenteeism and the dimension of job motivation (r = 0.435, p < 0.001). The roles of presenteeism, shift scheduling based on technician preference, and mandatory overtime were confirmed as predictors of resilience.
conclusionMost of the study participants exhibited a moderate level of presenteeism and a high level of resilience. Personnel with higher levels of resilience are likely to have greater capacity and ability to perform their duties despite experiencing illness. So, efforts should focus on enhancing staff resilience and providing organizational support during periods of illness.
