Abstract EN
Despite an increasing literature on professional nurses’ job satisfaction, job satisfaction by nonprofessional nursing care providers and, in particular, in residential long-term care facilities, is sparsely described.
The purpose of this study was to systematically review the evidence on which factors (individual and organizational) are associated with job satisfaction among care aides, nurse aides, and nursing assistants, who provide the majority of direct resident care, in residential long-term care facilities.
Nine online databases were searched.
Two authors independently screened, and extracted data and assessed the included publications for methodological quality.
Decision rules were developed a priori to draw conclusions on which factors are important to care aide job satisfaction.
Forty-two publications were included.
Individual factors found to be important were empowerment and autonomy.
Six additional individual factors were found to be not important: age, ethnicity, gender, education level, attending specialized training, and years of experience.
Organizational factors found to be important were facility resources and workload.
Two additional factors were found to be not important: satisfaction with salary/benefits and job performance.
Factors important to care aide job satisfaction differ from those reported among hospital nurses, supporting the need for different strategies to improve care aide job satisfaction in residential long-term care.
