Abstract: | Home care has become a major component in health care delivery. Increasingly demands are being placed on the base of the hierarchical personnel pyramid, the home care worker. These workers have a high turnover rate. This study examines the major reasons that contributed to a home care worker's decision to leave the job, and identifies where she/he went. The hypothesis tested was that factors other than salary influence a home care worker's decision to resign. The findings have implications for practice, education, research, and public policy. |
