Abstract

Abstract: Objective To explore the relationship between psychological contract,job burnout and elder neglect of geriatric nursing assistants in nursing homes in Hebei Province,and analyze the mediating role of burnout between psychological contract and elder neglect,so as to provide reference for reducing the risk of elder neglect. Methods From July to November 2023,a total of 526 geriatric nursing assistants from 67 nursing homes in Hebei Province were selected by the convenience sampling method. The general information questionnaire,psychological contract scale,Maslach burnout inventory-general survey,and elder neglect scale for geriatric nursing assistants were used for questionnaire survey. Results The scores of psychological contract,job burnout and elder neglect of geriatric nursing assistants in nursing homes in Hebei Province were （139.96±24.28）,（46.90±11.11） and （55.16±13.29）points,respectively. The psychological contract of geriatric nursing assistants was negatively correlated with job burnout and elder neglect（both P<0.01）,and job burnout was positively correlated with elder neglect（P<0.01）. The psychological contract and job burnout had a direct effect on elder neglect（β=0.332,-0.388,both P<0.01）. The job burnout played a partial mediating role between psychological contract and elder neglect,and the mediating effect was 0.174,accounting for 34.4% of the total effect. Conclusions The psychological contract and job burnout of geriatric nursing assistants in Hebei Province are at a medium-to-high level,and the elder neglect is at a medium-to-low level. It is suggested that managers of nursing homes can start from improving employees' psychological contract perception,provide supportive nursing environment,pay attention to employees' mental health,and take timely burnout intervention measures to reduce the risk of elder neglect,so as to improve the quality of care.
