Addressing this problem will require a greater understanding of the day-to-day experiences of nurses, including the disparities and unequal treatment experienced by this group of workers (e.g., pay parity, discrimination, and unfair job demands). However, while there is a need to better understand work disparities faced by nurses, a formalized definition and framework for examining work disparities do not exist within the literature. Objective: To create a conceptual framework to define and analyze work disparities experienced by nurses in LTC. Methods: This analysis was conducted in adherence to Podsakoff et al.'s four-stage series of recommendations. A partial survey of the literature and operationalizations of work disparities were analyzed to create a core list of attributes of work disparities among nurses in LTC. A definition and framework for classifying work disparities were then posited through a dialogic process and refined by testing on two studies. Results: A definition of work disparities was posited and four categories of work disparities were identified: job security, work compensation, work opportunities, and workplace treatment. A matrix for classifying the variables of work disparities and comparator groups was refined. Conclusion: With the increasing recognition of unequal treatment of nurses in LTC, this framework can enable further research within this area to support and enhance opportunities for the retention and health of the LTC workforce. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
