| Annotation | Nursing home social workers were surveyed to determine nursing home smoking policies and the effect these policies may have on resident and staff interaction. Data analyses suggest that in the past five years, there has been a trend toward facilities becoming smoke-free. Those which permit smoking face greater conflicts between residents and staff. Social workers are expected to be resident advocates as well as mediators in such areas of conflict. This position is further complicated by social workers' personal views regarding smoking and `guest' standing in medical settings. (RH). |
