Abstract

With the gradual standardization, professionalization and standardization of the senior care service industry, the construction of the talent team to grasp the senior care service has become an important part of the high-quality development in the senior care service. It is worth noting that at the present stage, there is a serious shortage of nursing staff in China’s elderly care institutions, unreasonable distribution of age structure, disproportionate gender ratio, low cultural level, lagging comprehensive quality, and weak professional ability and skills. To address the above problems, based on the study of relevant information and using the questionnaire survey method, survey interviews were conducted on the nursing staff of the all-weather work mode in the nursing institutions of Hospital C and Hospital F, as well as the nursing staff of the shift work mode in the nursing center of Hospital J and the nursing institution of Hospital L, in order to grasp the personnel arrangements, the nursing staff team, and other professional trainings of the four nursing institutions. Further, comparing the 24/7 care work pattern of the nursing institutions with the shift system work pattern and the difference in burnout found that the shift system work pattern is relatively better and can reduce the burnout of caregivers in their caregiving work. Elderly caregiver work is labor-intensive content, and the burnout resulting from a heavy workload will increase the instability and uncertainty of the caregiver’s career. In order to avoid this phenomenon, we should strengthen the detection and prevention of burnout among nursing staff in nursing institutions, and actively carry out heart health counseling, goal planning and professional knowledge training for nursing staff in the shift system, so as to comprehensively improve the comprehensive quality of nursing staff in the shift system, and thus contribute to the high-quality development of nursing institutions.
