This pilot study examines Ohio's licensed nursing home administrators and state tested nursing assistant's perspectives about job satisfaction, future career and employment plans, potential beneficial changes to their organizations, and their thoughts on reducing turnover rates in their field. Ohio Board of Executives of Long-Term Services and Supports provided their contact list of all 1,969 licensed nursing home administrators in Ohio in the fall of 2023. Two surveys were created for licensed nursing home administrators and state tested nursing assistants. Results were analyzed for themes within the open-ended responses; 28 surveys were received from licensed nursing home administrators and 17 surveys were received from state tested nursing assistants. Residents and their families are among the top reasons for job satisfaction, many employees face symptoms of burnout, and wages are a concern among both state tested nursing assistants and licensed nursing home administrators. Future career plans differed between the two professions and had distinct driving factors. A discussion of licensed nursing home administrators' opinions on improving retention and turnover rates should include more accountability, personal responsibility, and adding opportunities for professional growth and development.
这项试点研究考察了俄亥俄州有执照的疗养院管理人员和经州测试的护理助理对工作满意度、未来职业和就业计划、对其所在机构可能有益的变革，以及他们对降低该领域人员流动率的看法。长期服务与支持执行委员会于2023年秋季提供了俄亥俄州所有1969名有执照的疗养院管理人员的联系方式。为有执照的疗养院管理人员和经州测试的护理助理创建了两份调查问卷。对开放式回答中的主题进行了分析；收到了28份有执照的疗养院管理人员的调查问卷，以及17份经州测试的护理助理的调查问卷。居民及其家属是工作满意度的首要因素之一，许多员工面临职业倦怠症状，工资是经州测试的护理助理和有执照的疗养院管理人员共同关心的问题。两个职业的未来职业规划有所不同，且有不同的驱动因素。关于有执照的疗养院管理人员对提高留用率和降低人员流动率的意见的讨论应包括更多的问责制、个人责任，以及增加职业成长和发展的机会。
