The unscheduled absences and the cost of absenteeism were calculated as 11.52 days and 2372.46 TRY per employee per year. The study results emphasised the significance of unscheduled absenteeism in hospitals and its financial consequences. Hospital administrators could develop effective solutions by analysing the underlying causes.

(2003) was used as the data collection tool. The results indicated greater absenteeism in healthcare professionals aged 30 and under, married employees, female employees, nurses/midwives, university hospital staff and employees with a maximum of 5 years of service. The unscheduled absences and the cost of absenteeism were calculated as 11.52 days and 2372.46 TRY per employee per year.
