Abstract
Background: Magnet hospital certification has a reputation for being one solution to nurse recruitment and retention. It is a matter of priority for hospitals to identify and enhance the basic organizational social structures which promote the development and maintenance of magnetism. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the magnet hospital forces as perceived by nurses. Design: A descriptive-comparative design was used. Setting: This study conducted at Ain Shams Specialized Hospital. Total study subjects included 330 participants (80) Head nurses and their assistants, (250) staff nurses. Tools of data collection: One tool used namely, Magnet Hospital Forces Questionnaire. Results: It showed that, generally moderate perception among head nurses and high to moderate perception among staff nurses regarding total magnetism score of forces level. Conclusion: There was no statistically significant difference between head nurses and staff nurses perception regarding total magnetism score of forces level. Recommendations: The study findings should be used to highlight the positive and negative perception of Nurses regarding magnet forces to establish a profile of magnetism for the facility. The low level of magnetism perception among nurses must be addressed in order to identify the underlying factors and work on them. A survey of hospitals is conducted to determine hospitals’ interest level in pursuing magnet hospitals status, and what specific incentives would be most helpful in encouraging hospitals to go forward. Involving magnetism dimensions and hospital magnetic forces in nursing administration course for undergraduate education.
