Abstract Purpose: This study examined the association between turnover of caregivers and turnover of nursing home top management. The top managers examined were administrators and directors of nursing, and the caregivers examined were registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides. Design and Methods: The data came from a survey of 419 nursing facilities and the Online Survey, Certification, and Reporting system. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were used to examine the association between turnover of nursing home top management and turnover of caregivers. Results: A 10% increase in top management turnover is associated (p <.05) with a 21% increase in the odds that a facility will have a high turnover rate of nurse aides and is associated (p <.05) with an 8% decrease in the odds that a facility will have a low turnover rate of nurse aides. A 10% increase in top management turnover is associated (p <.1) with a 30% increase in the odds that a facility will have a high turnover rate for registered and licensed practical nurses. Implications: This study provides preliminary evidence that the turnover of top managers may have an important influence on caregiver turnover in nursing homes.

Relative Standing

To date, the most promising attempt to explain departure rates of executives of acquired firms examined the conditions that create perceptions of relative standing, but did not gauge the perceptions themselves. This study extends this line of research by surveying the post-merger perceptions of the top managers of firms acquired in friendly, related deals. We used a two-stage data collection design with the attempt to explain turnover in the first three years following the acquisition, and also predict it in the fourth year.

Staff Experiences

The project analyzed staff descriptions of undocumented care given to dying nursing home residents. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nurse aids, and social service designees were interviewed using an unstructured interview guide. Transcripts were coded by two members of the team and a thematic analysis was guided with the theoretical framework of Erving Goffman's dramaturgical model of social interaction. Analysis of interview transcripts revealed practices related to end of life care that went undocumented. Viewed through the lens of Goffman's theoretical model, this undocumented care revealed “secrets” related to socialization processes, communication, tension, superstitions, and interactions between staff and dying residents. Findings show that while dying is not formally acknowledged in the nursing home setting, staff experiences the reality of death and informally responds to the special needs of residents.

The Relationship

The present project investigated the relationship between death fear, attitudes toward the elderly, and personal anxiety toward one's own aging in a group of nursing home employees. Contrary to predictions, nursing professionals (i.e., Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses) did not have higher levels of death concern when compared to Nursing Assistants; in fact, Nursing Assistants had higher levels of death concerns on four components of death fear (fear of the dead, fear of the unknown, fear of consciousness when dead, and fear for body after death). The results also indicated that Nursing Assistants displayed significantly fewer positive attitudes toward the elderly than did nursing professionals.
