Practice Environment and Nurse Outcomes by ANCC Designation: Insights From NDNQI.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aims: The aim of this study was to compare nurse outcomes and perceptions of the practice environment among Magnet®-designated, Pathway to Excellence (PTE)-designated, and non-ANCC hospitals using hospital-level data from the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators® (NDNQI®) database. Background: The nursing workforce is currently facing prolonged burnout, fatigue, and increased levels of turnover, resulting in nurse leaders reexamining what drives experience, safety, and quality of care. Pursuing nursing excellence credentials such as Magnet and PTE represents a strategic effort to address these issues and enhance the nurse practice environments and advance clinical and patient outcomes. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design to compare nurse outcomes and practice environment perceptions across three hospital groups: Magnet-designated, PTE-designated, and non-ANCC-designated hospitals using 2023 data from the NDNQI® RN Survey data. Results: The RN Survey data sample included 26 PTE facilities, 69 Magnet organizations, and 157 non-ANCC-designated hospitals. Significant differences were identified across hospital designation groups in RN reported measures, specifically for both PTE facilities, and Magnet organizations significantly outperformed non-ANCC-designated hospitals. Conclusions: Although PTE and Magnet programs have differing paths to designation, both programs emphasize the importance of quality practice environments to support professional nursing practice. Nurse leaders must prioritize maintaining and optimizing healthy work environments.
