A new measure of professional caregiver coping in long‐term care: The LTC COPE
A new measure was developed to help us better understand how professional caregivers (nursing assistants and personal care aides) deal with work-related stress.Professional caregivers in nursing homes and assisted living tend to use multiple approaches to deal with job stress.Ways professional caregivers cope with stress vary widely-some address problems directly, some try to deal with the emotional toll of the work, and others involve avoiding the problems or their emotional consequences.
