Abstract

This study examines whether care workers in Finland feel able to provide adequate care for older people and analyses the working conditions that limit them from providing it. One third of the respondents felt that they were not able to provide sufficient care for older people. This was seen as being due to excessive workloads, a general lack of staff and accompanying physical and mental burdens. Improving care workers’ working conditions would enhance their work–life balance and allow them to help older people avoid situations of care poverty, that is, to receive the level of care they deserve.

能够为老年人提供足够好的护理：芬兰的护理人员及其工作条件

这项研究考察了芬兰的护理人员是否觉得有能力为老年人提供足够的护理，并分析了限制他们提供护理的工作条件。三分之一的受访者认为他们无法为老年人带来足够的护理。这被认为是由于工作量过大、普遍缺乏工作人员以及随之而来的身心负担。改善护理人员的工作条件将增强他们的工作与生活平衡，并使他们能够帮助老年人避免护理贫困的情况，即获得他们应得的护理水平。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
