This study examined the effect of social support and prior geriatric training and job type on the job satisfaction among staff working with demented elderly in one private nursing home in New York State, USA. A questionnaire was administered to 223 employees of the nursing home asking respondents about their income, age, type of job (social worker, community nurse, nursing home nurse, therapist, nurse's aid), existence of previous geriatric training, comfort level with the elderly, locus of control, collegial support, and supervisory support. 125 questionnaires were returned. Multiple regression was used to find determinants of job satisfaction. Results indicated that supervisory support, higher comfort level with the elderly, and prior geriatric training were three significant determinants of job satisfaction for all employees. Issues concerning the most appropriate type of support for such employees are discussed.
