| Annotation | While the work situation for nurse assistants in residential care is strenuous, they themselves often state that they are satisfied with their job. Clearly, more knowledge is needed of the interrelationship of variables associated with job satisfaction. This Swedish study aims to investigate job satisfaction, and to explore associated variables among nurse assistants working in residential care. 225 respondents completed a questionnaire measuring general job satisfaction, satisfaction with nursing-care provision and measures concerning person-centred care, work climate, leadership, and health complaints. Job satisfaction was the outcome measure, and comparisons were made among those reporting low, moderate, and high levels of job satisfaction; multiple regression analyses were used to explore associated variables. The caring climate and personalised care provision were associated with general job satisfaction. High levels of satisfaction with nursing-care provision were also associated with the general work climate, organisational and environmental support, and leadership. Low job satisfaction was mainly associated with health complaints. (RH). |
