“…Also, the study attempts to proffer policy suggestions to enhance LISCs’ home ownership in Nigeria. Evidence shows that although scholars such as Adisa et al (2008), Olufemi and Fashiku (2015), Amaike (2016), Anyakora et al (2017) and Olatomide (2017) have worked in this direction, the issues remain, thus justifying one of the reasons for this study. Findings indicate that there is no existing policy framework to address home ownership for l LISCs (participants S2, S5 and S7).…”

“…Several scholars have researched in the area of Nigerian LISCs and their well-being, including health, home ownership, amongst others. The gaps in the previous studies, for example, Adisa et al (2008), Olufemi and Fashiku (2015) and Amaike (2016) are specific to the encumbrances encountered and the possible policy solutions to improve senior citizens’ home ownership. This is because of the hindrances of the reduced source of income coupled with health challenges.…”

“…Although the previous authors found that home ownership was ranked second after good health as a determinant preference by the retirees but the suggested solutions may not be feasible and not well detailed for possible implementation. Adisa et al (2008) suggested thatIt would be relevant to assist retirees in Nigeria through institutional supports that would enhance their well-being as well increase their learning, leisure, and recreation (p. 45).…”

“…Anyakora et al (2017) asserted that encumbrances have caused most civil servants to retire without owning a home. Although scholarly attention to home ownership challenges has increased, such as Adisa et al (2008), Onyike and Ogbuefi (2013), Olufemi and Fashiku (2015) and Anyakora et al (2017), amongst others, yet the issues remain. The use of quantitative approach by majority of the scholars may have contributed to the unresolved challenges.…”

“…Self-help could disintegrate quickly and the outcomes may undermine enduring satisfaction of the well-being of the LISCs because of absence of policy to support the concept (Adisa et al , 2008). One of the possible reasons is that many retirees are not paid their retirement benefits several months after leaving paid employment (Amaike, 2016).…”

PurposeThe Nigerian Government has been left behind in the planning of homes for the senior citizens as they are aged and retire from service. The possible outcome is untimely death of many because of contagious illness associated with the dilapidated environment in their abode. Hence, this paper attempts to investigate the hindrances of home ownership faced by senior citizens and proffers possible policy solutions.Design/methodology/approachA phenomenology type of qualitative research was adopted and 30 participants were interviewed. That is, ten from four different state government agencies and 20 senior citizens using purposive and snowball sampling techniques and data saturation was also achieved. The data derived were analysed using MAXQDA 2018 and through a thematic analysis.FindingsThis paper found that Nigerian low-income senior citizens (LISCs) who owned houses lived more stable well-being. Whilst the level of home ownership was completely dissatisfying as failed mortgage finance, corruption in the pension scheme, relaxed National Housing Policy implementation and inadequate senior citizens’ home ownership policy were identified as the encumbrances.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper is limited to exploring the root cause of LISCs’ inability to gain home ownership and proffering possible solutions. Future research is needed to use relevant information in advancing home ownership policy for the low-income groups across the states in Nigeria and other developing countries.Practical implicationsThis paper recommended that government should impose housing construction on three acres and above, mitigate corruption, establish special housing loan scheme for senior citizens, sustain rent-to-own policy and land subsidy in cities to enhance senior citizens’ home ownership. These recommendations form part of the paper's practical implications.Originality/valueThis paper demonstrates that existing housing policies are yet to consider the senior citizens regarding enhancing their home ownership status.

Nurses are the closest healthcare providers to patients and emotional labor is the most invisible part of nursing work. However, the management of emotions to promote organizational goals and to ensure patient satisfaction may have both positive and negative impacts on nurses' working life. The purpose of this cross‐sectional, descriptive study was to examine the emotional labor behaviors of nurses and their opinions on emotional labor. Two hundred nineteen nurses working at public hospitals in Ankara between September and December 2018 participated to this study. Data were collected using the sociodemographic characteristics form and “The Scale of Emotional Labor Behavior for Nurses.” Nurses had higher scores on the deep and sincere emotional acting subdimensions of the emotional labor scale than the surface acting subdimension. Findings suggest that nurses act deeply and intimately, instead of surface acting. Most of the nurses expressed that nurses were emotionally affected when caring for patients; however, nurses had to control their feelings toward patients and behave professionally to meet the expectations of their managers, which may lead to an implicit emotional dissonance. Based on the results of this study, we suggest to support nurses emotionally and to incorporate the topic of emotional labor into educational programs.

Background The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has implications for health professionals. Aim The aim of this study was to explain the relationship between emotional labor levels and moral distress in health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique. Research design A descriptive and cross-sectional study was adopted. Participants and research context Data were collected between 7 February and 7 March 2021. 302 health professionals who were not on leave (annual leave, sick leave, prenatal and postnatal leave, etc.) at the time of the research and who volunteered to participate in the research were included. Research data were collected using a “Personal Information Form,” the “Emotional Labor Scale” and the “Moral Distress Thermometer.” Ethical considerations The Ethics Committee approved the study (dated 07.01.2021 and numbered 2021/1-3). The participants were informed of the study aim and written consent was obtained before completing the survey. Findings In the present study, the mediator role of emotional labor in the effect of providing service to a patient with COVID-19 and having had COVID-19 on moral distress was examined in health professionals and it was found that there was a correlation between providing service to a patient with COVID-19 and moral distress regardless of whether or not emotional labor had a role in this relationship. Conclusion In this study, the relationship between the level of emotional labor and moral distress in health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic was evaluated with a structural equation model.
