Abstract

This pilot study examines Ohio's licensed nursing home administrators and state tested nursing assistant's perspectives about job satisfaction, future career and employment plans, potential beneficial changes to their organizations, and their thoughts on reducing turnover rates in their field. Ohio Board of Executives of Long-Term Services and Supports provided their contact list of all 1,969 licensed nursing home administrators in Ohio in the fall of 2023. Two surveys were created for licensed nursing home administrators and state tested nursing assistants. Results were analyzed for themes within the open-ended responses; 28 surveys were received from licensed nursing home administrators and 17 surveys were received from state tested nursing assistants. Residents and their families are among the top reasons for job satisfaction, many employees face symptoms of burnout, and wages are a concern among both state tested nursing assistants and licensed nursing home administrators. Future career plans differed between the two professions and had distinct driving factors. A discussion of licensed nursing home administrators' opinions on improving retention and turnover rates should include more accountability, personal responsibility, and adding opportunities for professional growth and development.

俄亥俄州长期护理管理者和国家测试护理助理对工作满意度的初步探索。

本试点研究探讨了俄亥俄州持证养老院管理者和经过国家测试的护理助理对工作满意度、未来职业和就业计划、对其组织的潜在有益变革的看法，以及他们对降低其领域人员流动率的想法。俄亥俄州长期服务与支持执行委员会在 2023 年秋季提供了俄亥俄州所有 1,969 名持证养老院管理人员的联系名单。针对有执照的养老院管理人员和通过国家测试的护理助理制作了两份调查问卷。对结果进行了分析，以确定开放式回答中的主题；共收到 28 份来自持照疗养院管理人员的调查表和 17 份来自经过州测试的护理助理的调查表。住户及其家人是工作满意度最高的原因之一，许多员工面临职业倦怠症状，而工资则是国家测试的护理助理和持证养老院管理人员都关心的问题。这两种职业的未来职业规划各不相同，并具有不同的驱动因素。在讨论持证养老院管理者对提高留任率和离职率的意见时，应包括更多的问责制、个人责任以及增加专业成长和发展的机会。

期刊介绍： Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine (GGM) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed open access journal where scholars from a variety of disciplines present their work focusing on the psychological, behavioral, social, and biological aspects of aging, and public health services and research related to aging. The journal addresses a wide variety of topics related to health services research in gerontology and geriatrics. GGM seeks to be one of the world’s premier Open Access outlets for gerontological academic research. As such, GGM does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance. Papers will be subjected to rigorous peer review but will be selected solely on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication. By virtue of not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, GGM facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers.
