| Resumen |
The objective of this study was to estimate the proportion of nursing assistants (NAs) in the United States with work-related injuries and insufficient socio-economic resources by race/ethnicity. Data from the 2004 National Nursing Assistant Survey were analyzed. Among 2,880 participants, 44% reported "scratch, open wounds, or cuts" followed by "back injuries" (17%), "black eyes or other types of bruising" (16%), and "human bites" (12%). When compared to non-Hispanic white NAs, the adjusted rate ratio (RR) for wound/cut was 0.74 for non-Hispanic black NAs. RRs for black eyes/bruises were 0.18 for non-Hispanic black NAs and 0.55 for Hispanic NAs. Minority racial and ethnic groups were less likely to report having experienced injuries compared with non-Hispanic white NAs. Implications of these findings are discussed. |
