In this study, the author examined the job satisfaction of nurse aides working in nursing homes using the Nursing Home Nurse Aide Job Satisfaction Questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of seven subscales and uses a visual analogue rating scale ranging from 1 (low score) to 10 (high score). The questionnaire was mailed to 2,872 nurse aides who were employed at 72 nursing homes located in 6 states. A total of 1,579 questionnaires were completed for a response rate of 55%. Mean subscale scores were: 7.8 for the work content subscale, 7.5 for the quality subscale, 6.9 for the training subscale, 6.8 for the coworkers subscale, 5.7 for the work demands subscale, 5.5 for the workload subscale, and 5.3 for the rewards subscale. Mean score for the global ratings was 7.4. The findings indicate that in general, nurse aides enjoy working with residents and their coworkers but are less satisfied with pay.
在本研究中，作者使用《养老院护理助理工作满意度调查问卷》对在养老院工作的护理助理的工作满意度进行了调查。该问卷由七个分量表组成，并采用从1（低分）到10（高分）的视觉模拟评分量表。问卷被邮寄给在6个州的72家养老院工作的2872名护理助理。共完成了1579份问卷，回复率为55%。各分量表的平均得分分别为：工作内容分量表7.8分，质量分量表7.5分，培训分量表6.9分，同事分量表6.8分，工作要求分量表5.7分，工作量分量表5.5分，奖励分量表5.3分。总体评分的平均分为7.4分。研究结果表明，总体而言，护理助理喜欢与居民和同事共事，但对薪酬不太满意。
