A mixed method analysis of the work situation of direct care workers in long-term care settings Abstract: This is a study that focuses attention on direct care workers in long term care. Direct care workers, for the purposes of this study, are a group of workers who are, in practice, referred to as "aides," "nurse aides," "nursing assistants," "personal care workers" and "home aides." These workers share the primary task of assisting older adults and persons with disabilities with activities of daily living (e.g., toileting, transferring, cooking, cleaning). Using the term 'Direct Care Worker' in this study is an effort to use one term to describe a class of positions in which carework is done in relation to care clients. Long term care, here, is limited to three main settings: nursing homes, adult care homes and home health/home care/hospice settings. |
