ABSTRACT
Background: Presenteeism is becoming increasingly prevalent among healthcare workers due to their dedication to patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Countless professionals have carried on working while going through physical, psychological, and emotional changes. Objective: To map the factors inducing presenteeism in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Review method: Scoping review according to the JBI methodology. A search was carried out on databases to find studies published since 2019 in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Two authors independently selected the studies and extracted the data. Presentation and interpretation of results: Twelve factors were identified associated in inducing presenteeism in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: Healthcare managers should develop strategies for preventing presenteeism and raising the professionals’ awareness. More primary studies are needed on this concept of interest. © 2022, Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Coimbra. All rights reserved.
