| Annotation | Elder abuse and mistreatment occurring in institutional settings is a phenomenon that is as yet poorly understood. In considering the context in which elder abuse and mistreatment may arise, understanding the caregivers' work environment is an important variable. As front line staff, nursing assistants are subject to multiple stressors that underscore the highly interpersonal nature of caregiving. This paper describes the results of a Canadian study that examined nursing assistant-resident conflict, aggression towards nursing assistants by residents, and the relationship of conflict and aggression to burn-out in this group. |
