ABSTRACT

Background:

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the physical and psychological health of the people affected. However, this impact has been more significant for health care workers who were on the front line of the management of this health crisis. Objective(s) To evaluate the work productivity and the limitation of activities of healthcare workers in post-COVID- 19. Method(s) A Cross-sectional study was conducted among healthcare workers practicing at the Sahloul University Hospital in Sousse-Tunisia, diagnosed with COVID-19 during a 3-month period. Work productivity and activity limitation were assessed 3 months after infection by the French version of the WPAI questionnaire. Result(s) A total of 188 affected healthcare workers completed the questionnaire (sex ratio = 0.34;mean age = 41 years). Paramedical staff represented 63.1% of respondents. 28.6% worked in the emergency and intensive care units. More than half of the affected workers (52, 4%) had retained physical symptoms 3 months after covid 19 infection. The average percentage of absenteeism was 5.48% and presenteeism was 23.04%. Activity limitation was 26.84%. Work productivity was correlated with age (p = 0.015), presence of pathological history (p = 0.043), and presence of post-covid- 19 physical symptoms (p = 0.007). Conclusion(s) Covid-19 appears to have an impact on work productivity in some healthcare workers.
