Effect of Shared Governance on Nurse-Sensitive Indicator and Satisfaction Outcomes by Magnet® Recognition Status

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Researchers examined associations between Index for Professional Nursing Governance (IPNG) types and outcomes. BACKGROUND: Effects of professional nursing governance on nurse-related outcomes by Magnet ® status are not well studied. METHODS: Associations were evaluated between average IPNG scores from 2170 RNs, and nursesensitive indicators (NSIs) as well as patient and RN satisfaction outcomes (N = 205 study units; 20 hospitals), following Magnet requirements. RESULTS: Magnet hospitals had significantly better IPNG shared governance scores than non-Magnet hospitals (Magnet, 106.7; 101.3). For

The predicting effects of professional governance and structural empowerment on job satisfaction among Jordanian nurses: A cross‐sectional study

“…Accordingly, increasing nurses' meaningful participation in decision-making can improve their job satisfaction. Consistently, Speroni, Wisner, Ober et al (2021) suggested that expanding professional governance can be the key strategy to enhance nurse-related outcomes, including job satisfaction. Professional governance can be successfully implemented by increasing frontline nurses' control over their professional practice in their affiliating organizations, increasing their ability to engage in committees related to strategic planning and management of resources.…”

Survey Research

“…This 20-site study examined differences in the 50-item IPNG scores (traditional, shared, and self-governance) for 2170 RNs by unit-based nurse-related outcomes of nurse-sensitive indicators (NSIs), patient satisfaction, and RN satisfaction. They reported IPNG and nurse-related outcome differences by location (United States and non–United States) 14 and by Magnet status 15 . Summary findings demonstrated that study units scoring as shared governance or self-governance had higher percentages of nurse-related outcomes outperforming unit benchmarks than for study units scoring as traditional governance.…”

“…The parent study was a cross-sectional survey of nursing staff, and this investigation is a secondary analysis of a subset of the parent study. [14][15] The system's institutional review board deemed this research exempt. All participants provided informed consent in the online survey platform (SurveyMonkey).…”

“…They reported IPNG and nurse-related outcome differences by location (United States and non-United States) 14 and by Magnet status. 15 Summary findings demonstrated that study units scoring as shared governance or self-governance had higher percentages of nurse-related outcomes outperforming unit benchmarks than for study units scoring as traditional governance. These findings support that when considering strategies to improve select nurse-related outcomes, nurse leaders can consider interventions to achieve shared or self-governance.…”

“…The subset analysis research described below addresses whether RN types (clinical, managers, and other RNs) perceive professional nursing governance differently or the same. As shared governance is associated with improved outcomes, [14][15] understanding perceptions may be a key component for achieving and maintaining shared governance levels at the unit and organizational levels.…”
