“…Trust in God has been discussed as the most common coping mechanism when facing stressful situations (23). Because of their problems, the staff should be patient and recognize the patients' physical and cognitive changes which leads to inability in their daily activities (24). The study showed that empathy with patients mostly depended on the characteristics of the health professional (25).…”

Background:Various treatments such as hemodialysis prolong the life of chronic renal failure disease patients who must tolerate many physical, emotional, social and economic difficulties. Therefore, social support is considered as a vital area of investigation for such patients.Objectives:In this qualitative research, a grounded theory approach was used and written as a content analysis form to study hemodialysis patients and family experience of perceived social support.Patients and Methods:Three nurses, 4 general practitioners, a specialist and two family members who participated were interviewed from April to September 2012 in Urmia, Iran. Interviews were guided to divulge the perception of changes in their lives, needs for social support for disease complications, and the type of treatment process. Purposive sampling continued up to data saturation. Data analysis was performed based on Strauss and Corbin Method. Constant comparison analysis was performed until data saturation.Results:The research results are shown in 3 steps. In the first step, 113 categories and four main themes from 993 first codes were explored. Social support was explored based on the implications of five general themes including “Perceived Threats Caused by Disease Complications”, “Searching for Social Support”, “Accessible Social Support”, “Beliefs and Values”, and “Perceived Social Support”.Conclusions:The core variable of our research is acceptance of the reality of the conditions caused by the disease. The research finalized our knowledge about patient problems regarding social support and revealed many problems of supporting patients by Health Team Members, family members and organizations. The findings suggest that individual aspects of patient experiences must be considered if social support is to be given and Healthcare Providers have to facilitate positive health services.

Aim. To explore the role of nursing staff's person-centredness caring for people with dementia in relation to their work environment and job-related well-being. Background. Given the development towards person-centred care and labour force issues, research has recently focused on the effect of person-centredness on nursing staff's well-being. Findings from occupational stress research suggest that employees' personal characteristics, such as person-centredness, can moderate the impact particular job characteristics have on their job-related well-being. Design. Cross-sectional survey. Methods. A national survey was conducted among healthcare staff (n = 1147) in 136 living arrangements for people with dementia in the Netherlands (2008)(2009). Hierarchical regression analyses were used. Results. Person-centredness moderates the relationship between coworker support and three outcomes of job-related well-being and between supervisor support and two of these outcomes. For highly person-centred nursing staff, coworker support was found to have a weaker impact and supervisor support to have a stronger impact on their job-related well-being. In addition, direct effects showed that person-centredness was weakly associated with more job satisfaction, more emotional exhaustion and more strongly with more personal accomplishment. Conclusion. Nursing staff's person-centredness does play a modest role in relation to job characteristics and job-related well-being. Findings indicate that person-centredness is not only beneficial to residents with dementia as found earlier, but also for nursing staff themselves; specifically, in case nursing staff members feel supported by their supervisor. Since a more person-centred workforce feels more competent, further implementation of person-centred care might have a positive impact on the attractiveness of the profession. 404

“…While much research on formal caregiving has focused on extrinsic factors, some has pointed to the lack of opportunities for agency workers to develop extended caregiving relationships with their clients (Barber & Iwai, 1996;, noting that heightened involvement with the interpersonal aspects of care and greater sense of personal growth have been associated with high job satisfaction and commitment among paid caregivers (Drebing, McCarty, & Emerson Lombardo, 2002;Eustis & Fischer, 1991).…”

This study examines the experiences of 609 family, friend, and unrelated caregivers hired directly by clients under a consumer-directed model of home care. Using telephone survey data of clients and workers in California's In-Home Supportive Services program, this research compares outcomes and identifies predictors of caregiving work satisfaction across these three groups. In the total sample, feeling well prepared for the work predicted higher levels of satisfaction, while being Latino/Hispanic (as compared to being White or Black) predicted lower levels of satisfaction. Predictors varied depending on the caregiver's relationship with the client. In particular, friend caregivers who felt prepared were more satisfied than either strangers or family members. Understanding more about caregiver-client relationships and satisfaction is important to future workforce recruitment and retention efforts.
