Staff Turnover and Quality of Care in Nursing Homes

Multivariate analysis shows that decreases in quality are associated with decreases in RN turnover, and with increases in NA and LPN turnover, especially increases from moderate-to-high levels of turnover.

Abstract

These findings are significant because the belief that staff turnover influences quality is pervasive. The cross-sectional results are only able to show associations, nonetheless, few empirical studies in the literature have shown this relationship.
