abstract: 'Objectives Patient care aides, who provide basic care to patients in a
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
variety of healthcare settings, have been observed to have higher
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
prevalences of adverse health metrics than the general US workforce.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, few studies have examined how healthcare access and health
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
behaviors and outcomes among patient care aides differ by work setting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(home health, nursing home, and hospital). Methods Data from the 2013 to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System were used to assess the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
prevalences of healthcare access, health-related behaviors, and health
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
outcomes among patient care aides in different work settings, and among
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
nurses (licensed vocational/practical and registered). Adjusted
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
prevalence ratios were used to compare prevalences for healthcare
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
workers to those for nonhealthcare clerical workers. Results Overall,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
patient care aides are a low-wage workforce with high prevalences of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
multiple adverse health metrics and low prevalences of positive health
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
behaviors compared to clerical workers. Results differed by work
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
setting. Home health aides had the lowest income levels and most adverse
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
results for multiple metrics; nursing home aides had better healthcare
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
access and somewhat better health outcomes. Most metrics were best
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(though still quite poor) for hospital aides, who showed few significant
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
differences from clerical workers. Conclusions These results show the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
need to focus resources on the patient care aide workforce, particularly
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
those in home health. While some needs of nursing home aides, such as
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
improving influenza vaccination coverage and reducing the prevalence of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
arthritis-related conditions, would benefit from standardized workplace
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
interventions, alternate, workplace-specific approaches are needed for
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
home health aides.'
