Introduction: As jobdemands in the healthcare system increases, one of the main protective factors involves support within the work environment. Limited knowledge exists about the work environment of nurse assistants and their well-being at work. A relatively small number of studies on this topic in the Nordic countries, and their results indicate high job demands and risk for negative health outcomes. Purpose:This study aimed to investigate nurse assistants' perception of job demands, the servant leadership of their next superior, job satisfaction, symptoms of emotional exhaustion, and physical well-being at work. It wasalso investigatedwhether perception of servant leadership of their next superior related to job satisfaction and symptoms of emotional exhaustion.Methods: Questionnaires sent to all nurse assistants with registered email addresses at the Icelandic Nurse Assistants Association yielded 588 participants (49% response rate). A new Dutch inventory on servant leadership (SLI) was used to measure perception of servant leadership in nursing; additional questions explored work environment, demands, control and support at work, symptoms of burnout, and job satisfaction. To answer the research questions, a cross-sectional descriptive designwas used Results:The majority of participants experienced high job demands and reported on control and support at work. Despite high levels of burnout, the majority of nurse assistants weresatisfied at work. Servant leadership was practicedsomewhat within nurse assistant's workplaces. The correlation between perception of servant leadership, job satisfaction, and emotional exhaustion was significant for all SLI sub-factors except courage, and the strongest correlation was for empowerment, humility, and stewardship as sub-factors of servant leadership.Conclusion:This study highlights supportive factors within the work environment, particularly regarding the leadership-empowering role of servant leadership in nursing.

This note presents an international picture of measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic specifically for the elderly living residential facilities as a particularly vulnerable setting. For this purpose, the note reviews information available from selected economies and international organizations and NGOs that have introduced guidance or actionable measures. The note argues that significant and proactive efforts in the areas of prevention, control, resources, coordination, management, reporting, communication, and planning are needed to safeguard the elderly living residential facilities (long-term care homes, residential care homes, nursing homes, welfare homes, etc.) in response to the spread of COVID-19. While many measures that have been introduced internationally are of wide relevance, the note also pays specific attention to implications for Malaysia. This may include the following areas for policy consideration: (a) strengthening the linkage between the elderly care response and the overall response; (b) issuing clear guidelines and operating procedures for all residential facilities; (c) mobilizing resources for prevention and control; (d) implementing consistent measures with government support for both licensed and unlicensed residential facilities; (e) strengthening coordination between the social sector and the health sector and between residential facilities, health agencies and hospitals; and (f) building capacities.
