Level of nurse supportive supervision and its influencing factors in long-term care facilities
2021, Geriatric NursingCitation Excerpt :Over the past 20 years, LTCFs globally have been faced with staffing challenges and increasing complexity of resident care needs, resulting in poor quality of care.7 In LTCFs, registered nurses (RNs) and personal support workers (PSWs) are the main personnel of the nursing workforce,8 and the former supervise the latter, who provide the majority of hands‐on care to residents.9 In the “National Occupational Skills Standard for Elderly Care Workers” 10 released by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the People's Republic of China in 2019, a PSW is defined as a person who engages in living care and nursing services for LTCF residents.
Improving early detection of infection in nursing home residents in South Africa
2021, International Journal of Africa Nursing SciencesCitation Excerpt :Emerging evidence however, suggests decision support tools (DST), which provide a systematic approach to monitoring non-specific cognitive and behavioural changes, can help ensure consistency; allow nurses to be more professional and effective at communication, ensuring more timely treatment (Tingström et al., 2015). Such systems, when not reliant on physiological measures requiring clinical interpretation, may also allow delegation of use to nursing home care support staff, such as caregivers, to recognise and report changes in condition (Morley, 2014; Ouslander et al., 2011; Ouslander, Bonner, Herndon, & Shutes, 2014; Tena-Nelson et al., 2012; Tingström et al., 2015). They are well-positioned to undertake these activities due to their consistent caregiver relationships with residents (Ashcraft & Owen, 2014; Tingström, Milberg, & Sund-Levander, 2010).
The health care aide position in nursing homes: A comparative survey of nurses’ and aides’ perceptions
2019, International Journal of Nursing StudiesCitation Excerpt :Evidence suggests that the work carried out by health care aides represents up to 80%–90% of all direct-care activities performed in the nursing home (Berta et al., 2013; Pennington et al., 2003). A review of the literature suggests that health care aides carry out their work in sometimes hostile work environments, with reports of on-the-job injuries, low pay, high rates of job burnout, and turnover supporting this notion (Bowers et al., 2003; Brannon et al., 2002; Chamberlain et al., 2017; Cooper et al., 2016; Donoghue and Castle, 2009; Kovner and Harrington, 2002; Quinn et al., 2016) and persistent concerns regarding the adequacy of their training (Morley, 2014; Sengupta et al., 2010; Yeatts et al., 2010). Understanding these circumstances and settings may help better describe the need for job analysis for this position.
