Are we adapting the job to pregnancy before absence becomes the only option?
Maps occupational risks, absenteeism and maternity protection in hospitals, making safe participation at work a structural responsibility.
Study context
18 peer-reviewed studies published in English in 2015–2020 on pregnancy and hospital work.
Age / stage: Pregnant healthcare workers.
Read with three questions
- Which occupational hazards and protection issues appeared most often?
- What study designs dominated the review?
- Which gaps prevent a simple claim that a particular adjustment will reduce absence?
Keep the limits in view
The limited, heterogeneous hospital literature and language/date restrictions constrain conclusions; the review does not validate a universal risk threshold or accommodation.
