“…The majority of included studies were conducted in the U.S.; thirteen studies [ 21 , 24 , 26 , 33 , 35 , 49 – 56 ] used data from the National Nursing Assistant Survey (NNAS) (most frequently from the 2004 data set) and six [ 35 , 49 , 56 – 59 ] used data from the National Nursing Home Survey (all from the 2004 data set). Other countries represented in the included studies were Australia [ 15 ], Brazil [ 19 ], Canada [ 27 , 41 , 44 , 48 , 60 – 64 ], Denmark [ 36 , 37 , 65 , 66 ], Ireland [ 20 , 29 ], Japan [ 67 – 69 ], New Zealand [ 28 ], Norway [ 70 ], Taiwan [ 32 ] and the United Kingdom [ 18 , 42 , 47 ].

“…Twenty-five studies were relevant to HCA education [ 14 , 15 , 18 , 19 , 21 , 25 , 26 , 28 , 29 , 33 – 36 , 40 , 42 – 45 , 47 , 52 , 53 , 56 , 69 , 71 , 72 ]. Common reasons for becoming an HCA, ranked by North American HCAs in order of importance, were: 1) a desire to help [ 33 , 53 ] or an inclination to work with people [ 41 ], 2) an aspiration to work in health care [ 33 , 53 ], and 3) job security [ 33 , 53 ] or related, desirable job benefits [ 41 ].…”

Invisible no more: a scoping review of the health care aide workforce literature

et al. 2015

BackgroundHealthcare aides (HCAs) are the primary caregivers for vulnerable older persons. They have many titles and are largely unregulated, which contributes to their relative invisibility. The objective of this scoping review was to evaluate the breadth and depth of the HCA workforce literature.MethodsWe conducted a search of seven online bibliographic databases. Studies were included if published since 1995 in English, peer-reviewed journals. Results were iteratively synthesized within and across the following five categories: education, supply, use, demand and injury and illness.ResultsOf 5,045 citations screened, 82 studies met inclusion criteria. Few examined HCA education; particularly trainee characteristics, program location, length and content. Results in supply indicated that the average HCA was female, 36–45 years and had an education level of high school or less. Home health HCAs were, on average, older and were more likely to be immigrants than those working in other settings. The review of studies exploring HCA use revealed that their role was unclear – variation in duties, level of autonomy and work setting make describing “the” role of an HCA near impossible. Projected increased demand for HCAs and high rates of turnover, both at the profession and facility-level, elicit predictions of future HCA shortages. Home health HCAs experienced comparatively lower job stability, earned less, worked the fewest hours and were less likely to have fringe benefits than HCAs employed in hospitals and nursing homes. The review of studies related to HCA illness and injury revealed that they were at comparatively higher risk of injury than registered nurses and licensed practical nurses.ConclusionsThis is the largest, most comprehensive scoping review of HCA workforce literature to date. Our results indicate that the HCA workforce is both invisible and ubiquitous; as long as this is the case, governments and healthcare organizations will be limited in their ability to develop and implement feasible, effective HCA workforce plans. The continued undervaluation of HCAs adversely impacts care providers, the institutions they work for and those who depend on their care. Future workforce planning and research necessitates national HCA registries, or at minimum, directories.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12912-015-0090-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Objective: To assess the association between the presence of drug use and the dimensions of mindfulness in a population of students of technical education in nursing. Method: Correlational study conducted in a teaching institution in the inlands of the state of São Paulo, in 2017. Participants were 135 students for which the ASSIST questionnaire with personal characterization data and the Mindfulness Five-facet Questionnaire were applied. Data were analyzed with use of descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: The most used drugs were alcohol, tobacco and cannabis. The lowest score for mindfulness was 49 and the maximum was 171 points. There was a positive association between the presence of drugs in the three previous months and the “non-reactivity to internal experience” facet (p=0.004). Conclusion: Although the association seems to be in line with the precepts of mindfulness, this fact cannot be considered positive if analyzed separately from the other concepts of mindfulness. Descriptors: Mindfulness; Substance Use Disorders; Nursing Students; Technical Education in Nursing; Mental Health.

“…Nesse cenário, a baixa remuneração ocasiona o acúmulo de empregos, estresse e esgotamento físico, fazendo com que os profissionais deixem de se empenhar em suas atividades e em participar dos processos de atualização profissional, prejudicando a QVT 21 . Contudo, é importante ressaltar que o salário não é por si só um fator determinante.…”

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar a qualidade de vida no trabalho de fisioterapeutas docentes de cursos de fisioterapia no município de Goiânia-GO. Trata-se de um estudo transversal com 65 docentes. Foram incluídos fisioterapeutas docentes do curso de fisioterapia no município de Goiânia. Foram excluídos aqueles que estavam afastados, com menos de seis meses de atividade e que responderam os questionários de forma incompleta. Utilizou-se um questionário sociodemográfico e o Total Quality of Work Life (TQWL-42) para avaliação da qualidade de vida no trabalho. Verificou-se que os docentes que atuavam em pós-graduação, ou exerciam cargo de chefia apresentaram médias significativamente melhores que aqueles que atuavam apenas na graduação. A satisfação com a renda e com a atividade docente também apresentou resultados significativos, influenciando a qualidade de vida no trabalho dos participantes. A atuação em cargos e locais que permitem maior autonomia, posição social e remuneração, assim como a avaliação subjetiva da satisfação com a renda e com a atuação na docência, influenciaram a qualidade de vida no trabalho dos fisioterapeutas docentes.
