How big of an impact will headaches have on your work?
Hello
Having helped many people rid themselves of their headaches, we have been told how hard it is for them to work. To just do basic things, but we didn’t know how bad it is.
This week’s study we will discover what an enormous impact it has on people’s ability to work.
Let’s have a look at what I the results were from a study I discovered.
The study is called “the impact of migraine and probable migraine on productivity lossin Korea: A cross-sectional online survey”
The study looked at 403 people.
The study found “On average, the employed respondents (N = 265) had lost 8.1% and 44.3% of productive time due to absenteeism and presenteeism, respectively. This resulted in 47.9% of overall work impairment, which includes absenteeism and presenteeism, and 47.9% of activity impairment. The results of activity impairment were derived from the whole population (N = 362) including the unemployed.”
Presenteeism is when you are at work but cannot work or concentrate because of your headache.You are there, but basically not productive due to your problem.
Almost 50 % loss of productive time and work impairment due to headaches!!
That’s horrendous. How can you work and progress in your job or even be present at home when the headache is literally stopping you from concentrating?
You cannot.
If you think it is time to rid yourself of your headache and get back to being able to work
