Abstract

The pursuit of the best working conditions and of a rewarding job are pivotal elements in care process cause working satisfaction plays a main role to further the positive treatments outcome. Anonymous questionnaires were administered to 59 subjects (10 nurses and 49 health workers) operating in two different institutions, an Alzheimer centre and a nursing home, in order to describe their personal sensation about work's gratification. Our research shows up, in both institutions, a satisfying perception about working conditions, learning and educational opportunities, teamwork and individual skills recognition. Patients' behavioural disorders and hard relationship with families are source of strain and stress for both groups. The rest home staff complain about the unsuitable environmental conditions which make difficult the managing of particular minor behavioural disorders like wonderings, escapes and falls. Elements as salary and balance between work and free time are relevant for both groups but not adequate to fulfill their expectations if work recognition and individual daily efforts appreciation are lacking. © PI-ME, Pavia 2016.
