Nursing assistants (NAs) are critical professionals across the long-term care continuum. Despite the demands of NAs, these frontline personnel experience workplace challenges and turnover at a disproportionate rate compared to other professionals. Much research has explored the experiences of nursing assistants using federal survey data and national datasets. Guided by a socio-ecological model and the job-demands resource model, this study utilized a sequential mixed-methods approach to uncover a more nuanced understanding of NA workplace experience. Results from this combined qualitative ( = 17) and quantitative ( = 354) study found that there are several workplace aspects, such as organizational culture and supervisor relationships, that contribute to NA experiences across system levels. Further exploration of direct care tasks directly from nursing assistants is necessary to understand full intentions.
护理助理是长期护理连续体中的关键专业人员。尽管护理助理面临诸多要求，但与其他专业人员相比，这些一线人员面临的工作场所挑战和人员流动率却不成比例。许多研究利用联邦调查数据和国家数据集探索了护理助理的经历。本研究以社会生态模型和工作需求资源模型为指导，采用顺序混合方法，以更细致入微地了解护理助理的工作场所经历。这项结合了定性研究（n = 17）和定量研究（n = 354）的研究结果发现，有几个工作场所方面，如组织文化和主管关系，在系统层面上影响着护理助理的经历。有必要进一步直接从护理助理那里探索直接护理任务，以了解其全部意图。
