The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to explore the relationships among the working stress, quality of working life, and job satisfaction in aboriginal nurse aides. Structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Thirty-two aboriginal nurse aides were selected from long- term care facilities in Taoyuan by purposive sampling. Descriptive statistics and canonical correlation were used for data analysis. Results of the study showed that: (1) ”Task pressure” was the major source of stress for aboriginal nurse aides; (2) ”Internal Satisfaction” part was identified as the best item in job satisfaction, and ”Personal Interaction” was the most favorable part in the quality of working life (p< .01); (3) Sources of working stress had significant effects on both internal and external job satisfactions, identified by canonical correlation analysis (p< .01); and (4) Quality of working life also influenced internal and external job satisfaction (p< .01). Results of this study can provide guidance for assisting aboriginal nurses aids in long- term care facilities to increase their job satisfaction.
