Description of the Hospitals' transition towards a culture of magnet attraction in Finland.

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
backgroundThe Magnet Model framework has been a model for developing attractiveness in hospitals. This study aimed to describe the development of Finnish hospitals from 2008 to 2021 to meet the culture of the Magnet Model. This study provides a novel way to describe similarities and differences from a longitudinal perspective in addition to combining qualitative and quantitative aspects.
methodsA descriptive multi-method study design was used. Data on patient satisfaction (n = 2566) and nurse job satisfaction (n = 2707) in 2008–2009 were collected from four acute care hospitals in Finland. Furthermore, in 2021, data on patient satisfaction (n = 14401) and nurse job satisfaction (n = 5823) were collected from six acute care hospitals and were supplemented with interviews of nurse leaders (n = 9) in 2023.
resultsSurveys showed that patient satisfaction has reached an excellent level, whereas nurse job satisfaction has declined in recent years. According to nurse leaders, the attractiveness of hospitals has been systematically developed in accordance with the Magnet Model principles and structures.
conclusionsMagnet Model principles provide a foundation for improving nurse job satisfaction and patient outcomes, but full implementation requires a clear nursing leadership framework, visible authority, and coherent strategic actions. Sustaining Magnet Model work further depends on an organizational culture that values evidence-based leadership, shared decision-making, and adequate resources to support longterm -changes. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: The study indicates that despite efforts to strengthen transformational leadership and leader visibility, improvements in nurse job satisfaction require deeper cultural change, particularly in shared decision-making and professional autonomy. Developing hospital attractiveness, therefore, calls for systematic, organization-level support—such as participatory structures, adequate resources, and supportive leadership.
