| Abstrakt: | Objective: To investigate perceived task privacy in 2022 associated with short (1-3 days) self-certified sickness absence (SA) in 2023. Methods: A prospective cohort of 1400 Finnish office workers with survey data in 2022 about e.g. task privacy, telework, and office type were linked with employer-owned register data of SA in 2022-2023. Poisson regression models were used to obtain risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Each one-unit increase in task privacy was associated with a less likely short SA (RRs 0.83-0.89, 95%CIs 0.74-0.97) and across the amount of telework in 2022. The association was only statistically significant in activity-based offices. Conclusions: Each one-unit increase in perceived task privacy at the office was associated with less likely short, self-certified, 1-3 days SA. Task privacy is an important factor to be considered in offices. Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest: A.H., A.R., E.T-E., V.R. and K.R.: None declared. (Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).
