Abstract

This work  is part of a study carried out in four Nursing Homes for the Elderly in Andalucia (1). The study contained a questionnaire that had to  be filled out by healthcare personnel (registered nurses, nurses aides, and clinical assistants) working at the Geriatric Home of Pensioners in Armilla in the province of Granada. We tried to obtain information on the effects that working with institutionalised elderly people have  on the personnel in geriatric centres.
