  • Organizational Psychology

Background:

  • Professional values are crucial for optimal work environments, patient satisfaction, and high-quality care.
  • Magnet® designation signifies nursing excellence, making the link between nurses' values and this status vital for healthcare improvement.
  • Understanding these relationships aids organizations aiming to enhance patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate differences in individual values, professional values, and nursing care quality.
  • To compare these values and quality metrics among nurses and nurse managers.
  • To differentiate findings across Magnet, Magnet journey, and non-Magnet healthcare settings.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive, cross-sectional study utilizing the Professional Values Model.
  • Convenience sampling of 827 registered nurses and nurse managers in direct patient care roles.
  • Data collected from a non-profit healthcare system in the US Midwest, ensuring anonymity and informed consent.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences were found in professional values (p=0.037) and specific practice environment aspects.
  • Key areas included participation in hospital affairs (p=0.00), foundations for quality care (p=0.016), and resource adequacy (p=0.012).
  • Nurse-sensitive patient-reported outcomes, such as clear communication (p=0.00) and timely assistance (p=0.00), also showed significant variations.

Conclusions:

  • Fostering individual and professional values can positively influence nursing practice, independent of Magnet designation.
