A mixed-methods exploration of death exposure in certified nursing assistants: moderating factors and implications
Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) are responsible for 80-90% of direct-to-resident care in skilled nursing home facilities (SNFs), and often develop close, family-like relationships with their residents. With SNFs becoming an increasingly common place of death for older adults, CNAs now find …
