I am currently doing research on this very subject. My wife is a CNA,CMA and the main shower aide in her LTC facility. This is how I have my knowledge. I am conducting a huge research project: "Certified Nursing Aides within the healthcare profession have a greater risk of physical abuse by residents in the workplace." I have looked everywhere I can think of ( so have my instructors) to find Accredited Journals in the United States to support my research. Well I have found none and there is no word from my instructors. So if any of you CNA's, LPN's, or RN's have seen such a journal I would be ever so grateful. I will be completing my Masters in Social work/Human resources in the next 3 years. This is a primary focus. My main goal is to bring awareness to owners and administrators that this behavior from the residents IS NOT "part of the job description". My question: What can be done to remedy this problem within the LTC facilities? Why is this subject so "hush hush"?
