Presenteeism among healthcare professionals in a hospital setting: a scoping review.
Article in Revista latino-americana de enfermagem, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveto map the prevalence of presenteeism among healthcare professionals in the hospital environment, identify related factors, consequences for patient safety and worker health, as well as the interventions used.
methodscoping review based on the recommendations of the JBI Reviewer's Manual, including studies available in full in five databases, with no time or language restrictions.
results31 selected articles showed a high prevalence of presenteeism among healthcare professionals in the hospital setting, and the main related factors were illnesses (depression and infections), occupational aspects (work overload), and organizational aspects (lack of support from colleagues). The consequences for worker health were worsening health, stress, fatigue/exhaustion, and impairment of work capacity, while for patient safety, there was an increased risk of infections and clinical errors. Few studies have reported interventions, such as occupational wellness centers. The consequences also impacted economic aspects with loss of productivity and higher healthcare costs.
conclusionthe prevalence of presenteeism among healthcare professionals in the hospital setting is high and constitutes a multifactorial phenomenon with negative consequences for individuals, organizations, and patients. The study includes a multidimensional analysis of presenteeism and can serve as a reference for establishing hospital organizational health policies and programs. Multidimensional analysis of presenteeism can contribute to the establishment of organizational health policies and programs in hospitals. Given the scarcity of intervention studies, it is necessary to advance knowledge on the subject The research protocol is available on the Open Science Framework platform: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/GVNX3.
