Abstract
Magnet designation is the gold standard for benchmarking excellence in nursing practice. To achieve this distinction, hospitals must meet rigorous standards established by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) Magnet Recognition Program. Recruitment and retention of high caliber nurses is the hallmark of Magnet organizations, where work environments are designed to enable nurses to provide excellent patient care. Other benefits of Magnet designation include improved patient outcomes, increased nurse satisfaction, and collegial nurse-physician relationships.
The present study aims to assess magnet force as perceived by the study subjects.
The study carried out at all units of MISH. The study subjects include medical administrators, nursing administrators, infection control committee member and all nursing staff who were available at the time of data collection in the previously mentioned setting they amounted to (n=346).
