Description
Lea Efird-Green and five co-authors document how the aides who give most hands-on nursing home care cope with stress, in a 2023 study. Nursing assistants and personal care aides provide the bulk of daily care in long-term settings. Most are women, many are immigrants or from minoritized groups, and pay is often near poverty level.
Standard stress questionnaires were written for other lives and miss these workers’ reality. The team gathered accounts from 391 direct caregivers across 13 sites in three states to map the range of coping approaches they actually use. A faithful map is the first step toward support programs and measures that fit the workforce on which elder care depends.
