TL;DR

A longitudinal study to evaluate the job factors and work attitudes associated with just full-time staying or leaving in nursing homes and should help nursing home administrators better understand the work-related factors associated with staff turnover.

Abstract

There are two distinct groups of CNAs contributing to turnover. Attitudinal factors, such as job satisfaction and emotional well-being, are mediated via turnover intentions to effect actual turnover. Even accounting for methodological differences, this turnover rate is lower than previous studies, which use alternative methods and include part-time workers. This study should help nursing home administrators better understand the work-related factors associated with staff turnover.
