The sociocultural component is concerned with societal and cultural factors such as values, attitudes, trends, traditions, lifestyles, beliefs, tastes, and patterns of behaviour.
In accordance of the current situation faced by Parkway Nursing Care, one of the social cultural factors is the childcare commitment that the staffs (mostly those licenced practical nurse and orderlies) needed since a lot of them are single parents or the primary care giver of their children. It’s been a common sense for American parents to prioritize the education and close monitor of their children.
The incapability and restriction of taking time off and lack of manpower contingency plan during the needs for childcare will only raise the stress and demoralize them. As further impact, this situation will reduce the nursing quality performed by the affected personnel.
