Abstract

This article focuses on research conducted in the People's Republic of China examining neglect in nursing homes from the perspective of geriatric nursing assistants. The study, carried out in Henan Province, investigated how psychological capital—a positive psychological state including self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience—and job satisfaction relate to neglectful behaviors among nursing assistants. Findings indicate that higher psychological capital and job satisfaction are associated with lower levels of neglect, with job satisfaction partially mediating this relationship. The research highlights the importance for nursing home management to enhance psychological capital and job satisfaction to reduce neglect and improve care quality for elderly residents.
