Perceptions of Nursing Home Employees During COVID-19: Perceived Risk, Perceived Support from Leadership, and Post-Traumatic Growth
Authors: Eran E Hanke, Elaine M Eshbaugh.
Abstract
Administrators and staff in nursing homes experienced challenges in determining how to carry out their work while responding to stressful demands during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges, healthcare workers can experience post-traumatic growth (PTG), and PTG may serve as a coping mechanism. This study examined 211 individuals who worked in nursing homes during the pandemic. Our results suggests that both higher perceived support from administration and higher perceived risk are related to increased post-traumatic growth. Implications for nursing home leadership are discussed.
