  • Description:
    As the number of individuals 65 and older in the U.S. continues to rise, the need for nursing assistants within skilled nursing facilities will also increase. The increased need is complicated by high turnover and low retention rates. High turnover and low retention have negative impact on facilities, staff, and residents. For-profit skilled nursing facilities experience the highest rates of turnover when compared to their not-for-profit counterparts. Intrinsic (meaning, enjoyment, personal fulfillment) factors have been identified as contributors to retention of nursing assistants. The proposed research seeks to describe the relationships between multiple intrinsic factors and their influence on well-being of nursing assistants, and their intent to stay in their job. This research will utilize a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to provided additional understanding of causal factors related to nursing assistant intent to stay in their positions. As a result of this research current retention efforts can be redesigned to better reflect the experiences of nursing assistants in order to sustain this integral direct care workforce.
