From Restricted Resources to Ethical Burden-Former Home Care Workers' Reasons for Leaving Their Jobs.
Journal of Applied Gerontology : the Official Journal of the Southern Gerontological Society 2024 Februrary 15
The study examines former home care workers' reasons for leaving their jobs from the perspective of reforms in public services and eldercare policies impacted by New Public Management (NPM) in Finland. Written narratives from former home care workers ( n = 39) were collected online and analyzed using thematic content analysis. Former home care workers' reasons for leaving their jobs were connected to four interconnecting themes: mismatch between needs and resources , measurement-driven practices , unbalancing work - life , and ethical burden . These reasons reflected critical changes in the organization of care work and the work environment in older adults' home care. Contradictions between needs, resources, and values lead to ethical dilemmas and push away from the workforce in eldercare. To improve care workers' willingness to remain in the eldercare sector, changes are needed in the resourcing and organization of home care, including managerial support in everyday care work.
