AnnotationThe association between turnover of caregivers (registered nurses and nursing aides) and turnover of nursing home top management (administrators and directors of nursing) is examined. Data from a survey of 419 nursing facilities in 5 US states and the Online Survey, Certification and Reporting system were analysed using multinomial logistic regression. A 10% increase in top management turnover is associated with a 21% increase in the odds that a facility will have a high turnover rate of nursing aides and is associated with an 8% decrease in the odds that a facility will have a low turnover rate of nursing aides. A 10% increase in top management turnover is associated with a 30% increase in the odds that a facility will have a high turnover rate for registered nurses. The study provides preliminary evidence that turnover of top managers may have an important influence on caregiver turnover in nursing homes. (RH).
