Findings from a WFHN study published in The Gerontologist suggest that professional caregivers (certified nursing assistants, for example) who also take care of their own children, elders and, in some cases, both, experience greater work strain (indicated by emotional exhaustion, job satisfication, turnover intentions, and work climate for family sacrifices). The researchers found this strain to be buffered when the CNAs perceived that they had adequate time for family. With the over-65 year old population estimated to double over the 30 years, leading to an unprecedented workforce demand in the long-term healthcare industry, additional research in this area could be useful in helping long-term care organizations develop effective strategies for recruiting and retaining these valuable employees.
