AB  - ABSTRACTUnregulated care aides provide most of the direct care to nursing home 
      residents. We previously reported the first demographic profile of care aides in 
      Western Canada through the Translating Research in Elder Care (TREC) longitudinal 
      research program (2007-2022) in applied health services. Here we describe 
      demographic, health, and work life characteristics of aides from 91 nursing homes 
      in Western Canada. Demographics and work life varied significantly across health 
      regions and facility owner-operator models. Our longitudinal cohort of aides from 
      Alberta and Winnipeg had higher emotional exhaustion (a negative attribute), 
      professional efficacy (a positive attribute), and experience of dementia-related 
      responsive behaviours from residents. Overall, results indicate little 
      improvement or worsening of care aide health and quality of work life. Coupled 
      with limited provincial or national initiatives for workforce planning and 
      training of these workers, this signals a long-term care system ill-prepared to 
      care effectively for Canada's aging population.
