“…Systematic strategies to address certain antecedents of burnout are needed. These might include the inclusion of adequate NA staff, building up more balanced workloads and clear role expectations, and improving supervisory support or guidance (Chamberlain et al, ; Chao, ; Yeatts et al, ).…”

Aims This study examines differences in the determinants of intention to stay (Time 1) and actual retention behaviour at follow‐up (Time 2) between younger and older nursing assistants in long‐term care facilities. Background The shortage of nursing assistants in long‐term care is increasing, and the nursing assistant workforce is also ageing. Methods Data were obtained from a stratified equal probability sample of 595 nursing assistants from 137 institutions over a two‐year period in Taiwan. Multilevel modelling was utilized for analyses. Results High organisational support and low burnout were associated with high intention to stay at Time 1 for both older and younger nursing assistants. However, the retention of older nursing assistants at Time 2 was more strongly influenced by high work latitude, the use of an optimization strategy and less burnout at Time 1, while the retention of younger nursing assistants at Time 2 was more likely to be affected by personal factors such as gender and marital status at Time 1. Conclusion Organisational factors, the use of selection, optimization, compensation strategies, and burnout were more strongly associated with retention of older nursing assistants than of younger nursing assistants. Implications for Nursing Management Nursing assistant managers should recognize the needs of nursing assistants vary by age and stage of life. Retention programs that are designed to account for age differences will be more effective at retaining nursing assistants.

“…Secondly, in situations where burnout has been investigated, it is usually limited to just a few categories of health workers; thus, one cannot determine the trends among the diverse category of health workers. Additionally, the growing attention to burnout and employee engagement in healthcare must be matched by better evidence about how burnout affects the workforce, patient care, and healthcare organizations [7,12,13]. The goal of this paper was to assess the levels of burnout experienced by healthcare workers, aimed at identifying the various sources of burnout and coping mechanism developed by the healthcare workers.…”

Health workers are prone to burnout, which can have an adverse effect on their person and the patients to whom care is offered. The goal of this paper was to assess the levels of burnout experienced by healthcare workers in Accra, Ghana. The study was conducted using the cross-sectional study design. Questionnaires were used to obtain data from 365 respondents who worked in 12 major healthcare facilities. Data obtained were analyzed with SPSS version 23. Majority of the respondents were females (56.7%) as against males (43.3%). The total score for all burnout variables among health worker groups ranged from good (71.50%), alarming (12.60%), acute crisis (6.02%), and burnout (9.90%). Among the health worker groups, nurses had the highest percentage score values for all burnout variables. There was an association between burnout and these sociodemographic characteristics: age (p<0.001), gender (p=0.003), educational qualification (p<0.001), occupation (p<0.001), years of work experience (p<0.001), marital status (p<0.001), and parenthood (having children) (p<0.001). It is recommended that measures should be put in place in Ghanaian hospitals to assess stress and burnout levels to ensure people who are going through such situations are properly cared and supported.

“…This circumstance bred large numbers of inactive Registered Nurses. In addition to the insufficient pay of nurses (Yeatts et al., ), inflexibility of work schedule and lack of autonomy/employee empowerment (Yeager & Wisniewski, ) had negative effects on improving staffing levels. Low numbers of nurses adversely affect patient outcomes and the quality of care and increase the workload of nurses (Brannon, ; Norrish & Rundall, ; Byeon, ).…”

Burnout among direct‐care workers in nursing homes: Influences of organisational, workplace, interpersonal and personal characteristics

Abstract: While the data do not allow for the testing of causal relationships, the data do suggest that providing adequate staffing, perceived fair pay, sufficient work resources (e.g., towels, gowns), management support and adequate training may result in less direct-care worker burnout on the job.
