AnnotationIn this study, 349 full-time nursing assistants (NAs) in 5 Programs of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) programmes and their neighbouring nursing homes were surveyed to assess job satisfaction. There were no significant differences between NAs in the two models of care with respect to demographics, job description, or importance placed on job elements. Job satisfaction, however, was higher among the PACE NAs. They reported a significantly higher prevalence of the chance to form close relationships with patients, variety, respect for suggestions by people who make decisions about patient care, the chance to use one's own judgement, the chance to discuss patients with other team members, and respect for choices in assignment type.
