Abstract

Aim: Examines the factors influencing the shortage of nurses in nursing homes in China in the context of global aging and Corona Virus Disease 2019( COVID-19). Methods: literature review. Results: China's geriatric nursing profession is still at a low stage of development, and there are great difficulties in the demand for and training of nursing home nurses in China. Conclusions: This paper argues that the causes of the nursing home nurse shortage in China are multifaceted and that there is no single global or local measure. Inefficient planning and use of existing nursing resources globally, global demographic conditions under the new coronavirus, and poor recruitment or insufficient supply of new staff. The facts suggest that the nursing home shortage has reached a tipping point. Given the nursing home workforce shortage and unemployment, hopefully these conditions will inspire others in the industry.
