Nursing Home Staff & COVID-19
[link removed]
In their recently published Health Affairs paper, Elizabeth White and
coauthors explore the relationship between nursing home staff shift
times and COVID-19 testing and vaccination status
<[link removed]>.
Studying a multistate sample of 294 nursing homes over the period April
2020-March 2021, the authors find day-shift staff had the highest
testing rates and odds of vaccination, while night-shift staff had the
lowest.
These results suggest that "equitable access to testing and
vaccination for staff across all shifts-a structural factor-was an
important determinant of successful implementation [of COVID-19
interventions]."
White and coauthors also report variation in testing and vaccination
patterns by job category, with certified nursing assistants and
certified medical assistants and housekeeping and maintenance staff, on
average, testing less frequently than registered nurses.
