  • Title: Home care workers. A national profile.
    Author: Crown W, MacAdam M, Sadowsky E.
    Journal: Caring; 1992 Apr; 11(4):34-8. PubMed ID: 10117716.
    Abstract:
    This study presents the first nationally representative estimates of the characteristics of home care aides compared with nursing aides and hospital aides. For nearly every characteristic examined, substantial differences among the three types of aides exist. Understanding the distinct characteristics and needs of the home care aide is the first step toward increasing job satisfaction and reducing para-professional turnover.
