The nursing care provider provides appropriate quality care services for the elderly receiving long-term care insurance recipients. Care providers account for the largest number of skilled workers needed for elderly care. The exhaustion of caregivers has a negative impact on the individual’s physical, psychological and psychological aspects. Since nursing care workers have a great influence on the welfare policy of the elderly in the age of aging, measures are needed to prevent exhaustion of care workers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of variables related to burnout on 288 caregivers of nursing home teachers. The t-test and ANOVA analysis were conducted to examine the effect of job exhaustion on job-related objective variables, job-related subjective variables, and job satisfaction according to demographic variables. The exhaustion of caregivers has a great impact on demographic factors(marital status, age, education level, living standards, religion).
The higher the age, the higher the job satisfaction. The higher the education level, the higher the burnout. The higher the standard of living, the higher the degree of support for family and surroundings, and the higher the level of exhaustion(Christianity) in the absence of religion. The higher the turnover, the higher the job satisfaction. Exhaustion was closely related to high turnover, deterioration of service quality for clients, and decline of morale of caregivers. Health status, job reward and job injury were related to job pride, interest support, elderly, Relationship, job satisfaction, job commitment, and exhaustion.
Regression analysis was conducted to examine the effects of socio-demographic characteristics on job-related objective factors, job-related subjective variables, job satisfaction, and job exhaustion. In the first stage, marital status was higher in married, lower living standards, and less religion than Christianity. In the second stage, work experience was less than one year, work less rewarding, and job injuries were more frequent. In the third stage, it was found that marriage status was married rather than widowed, religion was less than Christianity, severity of work injury was higher, job satisfaction was higher when job satisfaction was higher.
Care providers play a role of directly providing care services to the elderly at home and at the facility in the age of aging. The services provided by caregivers enable the elderly to live more comfortably and satisfactorily, and also have a significant impact on the quality of life and welfare of the elderly. In order for caregivers to be exhausted, they should feel reassurance through nursing care services and receive other people’s attention and support in connection with their lives. In addition, in order to establish the welfare policy for the elderly in the age of aging, it is necessary to provide nursing care services and provide quality services for the nursing care workers to continue their nursing care work, and to improve the nursing environment.
