Certified nursing assistants (CNAs) provide the majority of direct care in nursing homes, yet recruiting and retaining CNAs has been difficult. Retaining CNAs is important because it has been linked to the better quality of resident care in nursing homes. In this study, the investigators examined the relationships of work-related and personal factors to CNA job satisfaction and intent to leave. Linked data from the 2004 National Nursing Home Survey and the 2004 National Nursing Assistant Survey were analyzed using multilevel logistic regression. Personal factors such as age, education, and job history, were related to intent to leave but not to job satisfaction. Supportive supervision was a significant predictor of both job satisfaction and intent to leave.
