Unpaired t tests for differences in mean amounts of key tasks between age groups of caring staff with and without job satisfaction. (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). Left panels [(a), (c), (e), (g) and (i)] are for caregivers and right panels [(b), (d), (f), (h) and (j)] are for nurses. Five key tasks are as follows: “Helping with showers or baths” on (a) and (b), “Helping with eating (partly or fully)” on (c) and (d), “Changing diapers” on (e) and (f), “Moving caretakers from bed or chair to wheelchair or vice versa” on (g) and (h), and “Helping with sit-up” on (i) and (j).
