The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between Magnet Recognition® and nurse-reported quality of care.
Magnet® hospitals are recognized for nursing excellence and quality patient outcomes; however, few studies have explored contributing factors for these superior outcomes.
This was a secondary analysis of linked nurse survey data, hospital administrative data, and a listing of American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet hospitals. Multivariate regressions were modeled before and after propensity score matching to assess the relationship between Magnet status and quality of care. A mediation model assessed the indirect effect of the professional practice environment on quality of care.
Nurse-reported quality of care was significantly associated with Magnet Recognition after matching. The professional practice environment mediates the relationship between Magnet status and quality of care.
A prominent feature of Magnet hospitals, a professional practice environment that is supportive of nursing, plays a role in explaining why Magnet hospitals have better nurse-reported quality of care.
本研究旨在探讨 Magnet Recognition®与护士报告的护理质量之间的关系。
Magnet®医院以卓越的护理和优质的患者结局而闻名;然而,很少有研究探讨促成这些卓越成果的因素。
这是对护士调查数据、医院管理数据以及美国护士资格认证中心 Magnet 医院清单进行的二次分析。在进行倾向评分匹配之前和之后建立多元回归模型,以评估 Magnet 状态与护理质量之间的关系。中介模型评估了专业实践环境对护理质量的间接影响。
匹配后,护士报告的护理质量与 Magnet 认可显著相关。专业实践环境中介了 Magnet 状态与护理质量之间的关系。
Magnet 医院的一个显著特点是支持护理的专业实践环境,这在解释为什么 Magnet 医院的护士报告的护理质量更好方面发挥了作用。
