Abstract
This study is a descriptive survey study attempted to find out the difference in stress by occupation before and after responding to COVID-19 among care facility for the elderly. In this study, a survey was conducted on workers in care facility for the elderly in Chungcheongnam-do and Gyeonggi-do from March 22 to April 25, 2021. Of a total of 220 questionnaires, 206 were collected, and the data were analyzed through t-test, one way ANOVA, and chi-square test. According to the research results, the difference in the sub-areas of job stress before and after the COVID-19 response of nursing home workers shows that nurses have job demands(t=-3.90, p<.001), job instablity(t=-3.30, p=.002), the nursing assistant has job demands(t=-2.45, p=.018), nursing care workers have job autonomy(t=-3.34, p=.001) showed a significant difference. Therefore, in order to effectively solve job stress according to the occupation of workers in care facility for the elderly in the COVID-19 era, stress relief programs for each occupation must be customized.
