abstract: 'Associations between forms of work organization that follow

  globalization and depression were examined in U.S. nursing home

  assistants. A cross-sectional study of 539 nurse assistants in 49

  nursing homes in three states in 2000 assessed nursing home ownership

  type, managerial style, wage policy, nurse assistants'' emotional

  stresses, and area labor-market characteristics (count), income

  inequality, median household income, and social capital) in relation to

  the prevalence of depression among the nurse assistants. A

  cross-classified multilevel analysis was used. For-profit ownership,

  emotional strain, managerial pressure, and lack of seniority pay

  increases were associated with depression. Labor,market characteristics

  were not associated with depression once work organization was taken

  into account. The deregulation of the nursing home industry that

  accompanies globalization is likely to adversely affect the mental

  health of nursing home assistants.'
