Abstract

The present qualitative study aims to shed light on the job satisfaction of home-visit care workers in Japan. A total of 19 participants were recruited from two rural, three suburban, and one urban area in and around Nagoya city. The qualitative data were collected through individual or group interviews from May to August of 2017. The interviews were conducted using an open-ended questionnaire concerning job satisfaction. Qualitative content analysis was used to systematically identify ideas and patterns emerging from the interview data. Three main themes emerged from the analysis: client–worker conflict, public opinion about the profession, and changing but rewarding work. Home-visit care workers enjoy working in an environment where communication is highly valued, and appreciate the diversity of their clients’ personalities.
