Objective To understand the current situation of hospital ethical atmosphere of nurses in infectious department,explore the influence of hospital ethical atmosphere on latent absenteeism of nurses in infectious department,and analyze the mediating effect of nurses'job satisfaction between hospital ethical at-mosphere and latent absenteeism.Methods A total of 215 nurses in the department of infection were selected by convenience sampling method in tertiary hospitals in Henan province,and the self-designed general data questionnaire,the Stanford Presenteeism Scale,Chinese version of hospital ethical atmosphere scale and nur-ses'job satisfaction questionnaire were used to investigate the nurses in the department of infection who met the inclusion criteria.Results The total score of nurses'hidden absenteeism was(18.81±5.11)points,the to-tal score of hospital ethical atmosphere was(93.77±27.40)points,and the total score of nurses'job satisfac-tion was(129.92±27.43)points.In this group,hidden absenteeism was negatively correlated with hospital ethical atmosphere(r=-0.610,P<0.001),hidden absenteeism was negatively correlated with job satisfac-tion(r=-0.499,P<0.001),and job satisfaction was positively correlated with hospital ethical atmosphere(r=0.392,P<0.001).Nurses'job satisfaction played an indirect mediating role in hospital ethical atmos-phere and hidden absenteeism(β=-0.136,P<0.001),and the mediating effect accounted for 21%.Conclusion The job satisfaction of nurses in infection department plays a mediating role between hospital eth-ical atmosphere and hidden absenteeism,and can reduce the rate of hidden absenteeism by improving the job satisfaction of nurses.
