Who Is (Still) Looking After Mom and Dad? Few Improvements in Care Aides’ Quality-of-Work Life

Chamberlain, S. A., Hoben, M., Squires, J. E., Cummings, G. G., Norton, P., & Estabrooks, C. A. (2019). Who Is (Still) Looking After Mom and Dad? Few Improvements in Care Aides’ Quality-of-Work Life. Canadian Journal on Aging, 38(1), 35–50. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0714980818000338

Unregulated care aides provide most of the direct care to nursing home residents. We previously reported the first demographic profile of care aides in Western Canada through the Translating Research in Elder Care (TREC) longitudinal research program (2007–2022) in applied health services. Here we describe demographic, health, and work life characteristics of aides from 91 nursing homes in Western Canada. Demographics and work life varied significantly across health regions and facility owner-operator models. Our longitudinal cohort of aides from Alberta and Winnipeg had higher emotional exhaustion (a negative attribute), professional efficacy (a positive attribute), and experience of dementia-related responsive behaviours from residents. Overall, results indicate little improvement or worsening of care aide health and quality of work life. Coupled with limited provincial or national initiatives for workforce planning and training of these workers, this signals a long-term care system ill-prepared to care effectively for Canada’s aging population.
