Presenteeism occurs when workers are present at work but with diminished work capacity due to illness, stress, or other causes.

Objective: Presenteeism can result from a variety of causes, one of which is job stress. This study examined the factor structure and validity of the Job Stress-Related Presenteeism Scale (JSRPS).
Methods: Using three organizational samples, the study aimed to determine the factor structure of the JSRPS, its relationship to a sickness presenteeism scale, and the association between the JSRPS and associated concepts.
Background: Nurses are a high-risk group for presenteeism: When one is present at work but not fully engaged. Presenteeism can occur because of multiple work, personal, and event factors and is linked to negative nurse, patient, and organizational outcomes. A model that accounts for the multiple antecedents that lead to presenteeism, as well as its consequences, is needed.

Objectives: To report presenteeism prevalence across presenteeism measures from the work-stress and sickness domains. To evaluate the psychometric fit of those measures in a nursing population.
Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive survey of 447 US RNs using five reliable and validated measures of presenteeism: Stanford Presenteeism Scale (SPS), Job-Stress-Related Presenteesim Scale (JSRPS), Healthcare Productivity Scale (HPS), Nurses Work Functioning Questionnaire (NWFQ), and Health and Work Questionnaire (HWQ).
A new p38α inhibitor: Using a D-recruitment site (DRS) probe for p38α which exploits covalent interaction with Cys119 and alkyne-azide "click" chemistry to identify small molecules that recognize the p38α DRS, the anti-inflammatory natural product rooperol was identified as a novel p38α inhibitor.
