Respondents who identified themselves as administrators, apprentices, or trainees, who were in leadership positions, or who were not involved in the provision of care or housekeeping were excluded from this analysis. Burnout was assessed with the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory Scale (possible score range 0\u2013100) and back pain with a single item from the Federal Statistical Office's Swiss Health Survey. Multilevel regression analyses were used to assess burnout and back pain's associations with psychosocial work environment factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We included 2514 homecare workers. More than two\u2010thirds (68.6%) reported back pain in the past 4\u2009weeks. The overall mean burnout score was 36.0 (SD 18.3). Poorer work\u2010life balance, higher perceived workload and verbal aggression from clients were positively associated with both outcomes. Better leadership and social support from colleagues were negatively associated with burnout. Higher role conflict levels correlated with higher burnout levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings indicate that the psychosocial work environment should be considered when designing interventions to reduce the prevalence of burnout and back pain among homecare workers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Implications for the Profession and Patient Care<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The high reported burnout and back pain prevalences among homecare workers highlight an urgent need to design and implement psychosocial work environment\u2010improving interventions. In addition to contributing to homecare employees' long\u2010term attraction and retention, protecting and promoting their health and well\u2010being will likely not only benefit them, but also contribute to patient safety, quality of care and homecare sustainability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Impact<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study reports the prevalence of burnout and back pain among homecare workers and their associations with psychosocial work environment factors. The results indicate that six psychosocial work environment factors\u2014work\u2010life balance, perceived workload, leadership quality, levels of social support from colleagues, role conflict levels, and verbal aggression from clients\u2014all correlate with burnout and\/or back pain in homecare workers. For policy makers, researchers, healthcare managers, and homecare agencies, this study's findings will inform the development of interventions to enhance homecare work environments, leading to improvements both in workers' health and in the quality of their care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Reporting Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We have adhered to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) reporting checklist for cross\u2010sectional studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patient or Public Contribution<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our stakeholder group included patient representatives, policy makers, researchers, clinicians and representatives of professional associations.
