This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examines the affects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on the job satisfaction of Nursing Assistants (NAs) in a long-term care setting. Specifically, the NAs are employees of the two facilities owned by the Episcopal Retirement Homes. NAs at these facilities are more satisfied with intrinsic (job content) than extrinsic (job context) aspects of their jobs. The NAs in one facility are significantly more satisfied with their manager2s administrative manners and skills items than those in the other facility. NAs in this facility also were more satisfied with the chance to tell people what to do than those in the other facility. When comparing the facilities overall job satisfaction scores, there was no statistically significant difference. This is of particular interest as the NA turnover at one facility was 67%, substantially less than the other facility at 119% at the time of this research. This result may be explained by the fact that during the research process some NAs in Facility B were openly vocal in their criticism of management during the time this research was being conducted. In order for management to positively influence job satisfaction and reduce turnover of NAs at these two long-term care facilities, attention should be paid to the extrinsic aspects of NAs jobs.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The population of the United States is aging: as the proportion of retirees to working-age population increases, the future needs of the elderly and long term care needs will require careful consideration by healthcare providers. Just as personal care dependency increases with age so does the proportion of older persons institutionalized at any point in time. As of 1990, of the 30 million persons over the age of 65, approximately 24 percent required some long-term care services (Feldstein, 1993). The majority of the elderly in long-term care can be expected to be cared for by nursing assistants who make up 45-50 percent of nursing home staff and provide 90 percent of the care (Wagnild 1988, Waxman et al. 1984). Identified in the literature has been the need to develop strategies for reducing a long-identified problem of nursing assistant employment turnover in long-term care facilities. Using Herzberg's (1959) Motivational Theory as a theoretical framework, this study evaluated the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover of employment of nursing assistants in long-term care. Utilizing a structured qualitative interview setting, a comparative correlation of employee retention and job satisfaction was examined. Appropriate demographic data were collected. Data analysis consisted of descriptive statistics for the demographic data and content analysis for the nursing assistant focus group interviews. Information obtained from the focus group interviews was utilized to identify overriding themes that provide insight to factors related to job satisfaction/dissatisfaction and reasons nursing assistants stay or leave a position. Overall the data from the investigative project identified that the work itself is the most important factor related to job satisfaction for nursing assistants. Nursing assistants need to have attachment and feelings for residents in order to do the job, These feelings of caring and self-worth contribute to job satisfaction and are closely tied to the reasons nursing assistants stay in a position and seem to out-weigh the extrinsic factors of dissatisfaction: pay and communication. However, these positive feelings aren't enough by themselves to decrease turnover of nursing assistant employment in long-term care. Issues of respect, communication and pay do have an effect on the self-esteem of nursing assistants and will ultimately outweigh the good feelings one has about the work itself. Factors related to lack of respect, poor communication and low pay were identified as important in all of the study facilities as job dissatisfiers and reasons nursing assistants would leave a position.

This book was released on 1996-03-27 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hospitals and nursing homes are responding to changes in the health care system by modifying staffing levels and the mix of nursing personnel. But do these changes endanger the quality of patient care? Do nursing staff suffer increased rates of injury, illness, or stress because of changing workplace demands? These questions are addressed in Nursing Staff in Hospitals and Nursing Homes, a thorough and authoritative look at today's health care system that also takes a long-term view of staffing needs for nursing as the nation moves into the next century. The committee draws fundamental conclusions about the evolving role of nurses in hospitals and nursing homes and presents recommendations about staffing decisions, nursing training, measurement of quality, reimbursement, and other areas. The volume also discusses work-related injuries, violence toward and abuse of nursing staffs, and stress among nursing personnelâ€"and examines whether these problems are related to staffing levels. Included is a readable overview of the underlying trends in health care that have given rise to urgent questions about nurse staffing: population changes, budget pressures, and the introduction of new technologies. Nursing Staff in Hospitals and Nursing Homes provides a straightforward examination of complex and sensitive issues surround the role and value of nursing on our health care system.

The text, based on a model developed by the McGill University Nursing Program, signifies a paradigm shift from a deficit-based model to one that focuses on individual, family, and community strengths as a cornerstone of effective nursing care. The book develops the theoretical foundations underlying SBC, promotes the acquisition of fundamental skills needed for SBC practice, and offers specific strategies, techniques, and tools for identifying strengths and harnessing them to facilitate healing and health. The testimony of 46 nurses demonstrates how SBC can be effectively used in multiple settings across the lifespan.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing assistants are an important part of the healthcare team in hospitals. However, there has been little research about the antecedents of job satisfaction and intent to leave of nursing assistants in hospitals. The limited amount of research related to job satisfaction of nursing assistants has been done with nursing assistants in nursing homes. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and intent to leave in hospital based nursing assistant in North Carolina. In addition, the influence of personal characteristics, role related characteristics and job characteristics were examined. The study used a descriptive correlational survey design using the Hospital Nursing Assistant Job Satisfaction Questionnaire. Participants in this study were most satisfied with the work content, coworkers, workplace support, and work schedule. Data revealed a significant relationship between intent to leave, education level and hospital tenure. The strongest predictors for job satisfaction were work schedule, coworkers, chances for more training, and on the job training. The strongest predictors for intent to leave were workplace support, work schedule, and recommend the hospital to a friend. This study represents a beginning understanding of the factors that are associated with job satisfaction and intent to leave of nursing assistants in the hospital setting. Job satisfaction and intent to leave variables have been identified and need further examination to insure that nursing assistants are retained and productive members of the healthcare team.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The job satisfaction of nursing assistants in nursing homes has been a topic of concern and research for decades. Sustained elevated rates of turnover indicate a significant problem with job satisfaction in this field. Despite many years of research on this topic, neither the global nor the American gerontological community has reached a consensus on which factors have the most significant impact on job satisfaction. This systematic review examined eight studies regarding nursing assistants' job satisfaction in nursing homes across the United States. These studies were located by utilizing ProQuest and PsycInfo databases. Each of the articles reviewed was found in the databases mentioned above or located via chain searching reference pages of items in the databases. These studies must have taken place in the United States, pertained to the job satisfaction of nursing assistants employed by nursing homes, and must have been published in the year 2000 or later. The Job Demands Resource (JD-R) model and Work-Family Conflict theory were utilized in this study to provide context for why nursing assistant turnover rates are elevated. Developing an understanding of these turnover rates will provide facilities with an opportunity to improve the lives and work experiences of their nursing assistants by implementing changes that improve job satisfaction, such as reducing work-related strain, increasing support, and facilitating financial well-being. There is a need for current and focused reviews of nursing assistants' experiences in the United States; this review aimed to address that need.
