Description
A repeated survey study compares care aides' quality of work life in Canadian long-term care homes before and during COVID, in a paper from 2023. Care aides give most hands-on care in these homes, and the pandemic hit their workplaces hard. Two survey waves bracket the crisis.
Over twenty-three hundred aides answered in early 2020 and over eleven hundred in late 2021 across western Canada homes. The later group reported working short-staffed far more often, plus lower professional confidence and mental health. They also felt less rushed and saw fewer difficult resident behaviors. The authors call for fixing the long undervaluing of this workforce.
