January 1, 2014
Using data from the 2004 National Nursing Assistant Survey, this study examines the negative effects of workplace injury on nursing assistants, and the workplace environment factors that are related to the rate of worker injury. The study found that nursing assistants who experience job-related injuries have lower job satisfaction and increased turnover intentions, and are less likely to recommend their nursing home to others.
