Sammanfattning
The relationship between different degrees of institutionalization in the care of the elderly (service house, home care, and a combination of both) and work-load, as well as staff feelings regarding psychosocial variables and health complaints, was investigated. Seventy-one staff members similar in background factors answered questionnaires. The results revealed consistent and stable differences between the different settings. Work involving mixed tasks might lower the strain of dealing with highly dependent clients in a highly institutionalized environment.
