Abstract

Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between high wages and empowerment practices on certified nursing assistant (CNA) retention, necessary for providing high-quality care for nursing home (NH) residents. Methods: Measures of provider-level CNA empowerment and wages from the 2015 Ohio Biennial Survey were used to estimate two regression models on retention ( n = 719), one without and one with an interaction term of high wages and high empowerment. Results: Only in the context of the interacted model were NHs that provided both high wages and high empowerment associated with a 7.09 percentage-point improvement in the CNA retention rate ( p = .0003). Individually, high wages and a high empowerment score were not statistically significant in either regression model. Discussion: Retaining CNAs in NH communities requires a combination of empowerment practices (e.g., involving CNAs in decision-making about hiring other staff) and high hourly wages.
