This study analyzes the 2004 National Nursing Assistant Survey and other survey data to examine the characteristics and experiences of immigrant and non-immigrant certified nursing assistants (CNAs) in nursing facilities. Descriptive results focus on differences in personal characteristics, working conditions, extrinsic rewards, work experiences, job satisfaction, and workplace discrimination. The findings indicate that immigrant CNAs are older, better educated, and somewhat more highly paid than their non-immigrant counterparts but also experience substantial levels of discrimination and language-related communication barriers at work. The paper discusses major policy issues that arise from the increase in immigrant labor in long-term care.
本研究分析了 2004 年全国护理助理调查和其他调查数据，以考察移民和非移民注册护士助理（CNA）在护理机构中的特征和经历。描述性结果侧重于个人特征、工作条件、外在奖励、工作经验、工作满意度和工作场所歧视方面的差异。研究结果表明，移民 CNA 年龄较大，教育程度较高，薪酬略高，但在工作中也经历了大量的歧视和与语言相关的沟通障碍。本文讨论了长期护理中移民劳动力增加所带来的主要政策问题。
