Cover Story: Person-centered care (PCC) is widely promoted in long-term care (LTC) to support residents living with dementia, but its impact on nursing care aides—who provide most of the hands-on care in such contexts—remains underexplored. These aides often face significant care strain due to the emotional, physical, and psychological demands of supporting residents with complex needs. This study examined whether organizational PCC practices are associated with reduced care strain and more positive daily emotions among care aides in LTC homes in New Brunswick. Survey data from 28 care aides suggest that while care strain remains high, structured education and ethical support may help reduce strain and improve emotional well-being. The findings highlight the value of investing in practical, staff-focused PCC strategies to improve both staff experience and resident care. View this paper
