Abstract

Nurses, certified nursing assistants, activity personnel, social workers, and physicians in 5 cities rated their ability to affect each of 17 quality of life (QoL) items for 2 hypothetical cases. Those closest to the residents feel the most empowered to make a difference. Overall, certified nursing assistants were consistently the most optimistic about their ability to influence QoL. Perceptions of ability to influence QoL were correlated with attitudes about nursing homes. These perceptions may be helpful in retaining such staff.
