Although many of the well known work characteristics associated with job satisfaction in home health care have been documented, a unique aspect of the home health care aides' (HHA) work environment that might also affect job satisfaction is the fact that their workplace is a household. To obtain a better understanding of the potential impact of the risks/exposures/hazards within the household environment on job satisfaction and job retention in home care, we recently conducted a risk assessment study.
Survey data from a convenience sample of 823 New York City HHAs were obtained and analyzed.
Household/job-related risks, environmental exposures, transportation issues, threats/verbal and physical abuse, and potential for violence were significantly correlated with HHA job satisfaction and job retention.
Addressing the modifiable risk factors in the home health care household may improve job satisfaction and reduce job turnover in this work population.
尽管许多与家庭医疗保健工作满意度相关的知名工作特征已被记录，但家庭医疗保健助手（HHA）工作环境中一个可能也会影响工作满意度的独特方面是，他们的工作场所是家庭。为了更好地理解家庭环境中的风险/暴露/危害对家庭护理工作满意度和工作保留率的潜在影响，我们最近进行了一项风险评估研究。
获取并分析了来自823名纽约市家庭医疗保健助手便利样本的调查数据。
家庭/工作相关风险、环境暴露、交通问题、威胁/言语和身体虐待以及暴力可能性与家庭医疗保健助手的工作满意度和工作保留率显著相关。
解决家庭医疗保健家庭中可改变的风险因素可能会提高该工作人群的工作满意度并减少人员流动。
