Josh Wiener, Ph.D., Distinguished Fellow and program director of RTI International’s Aging, Disability, and Long-Term Care Program describes an RTI study, which was partially funded by the Retirement Research Foundation and published by RTI Press. The study analyzes the predictors of work-related injuries among CNAs working in nursing homes.
The research showed that certified nursing assistants (CNAs) are an essential part of the long-term care workforce, but more than 60 percent of CNAs working in nursing homes experience work-related injuries. Aside from the impact on workers’ health, work-related injuries can negatively impact job satisfaction, contribute to job shortages and affect the overall quality of care provided by CNAs to more than 1.4 million nursing home residents across the country.
