OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify patterns of high-performing behaviors and nurse manager perceptions of the factors of Magnet (R) sustainability at a multidesignated Magnet organization.
BACKGROUND: The Magnet program recognizes exemplary professional nursing practice and is challenging to achieve and sustain. Only 10% (n = 42) of Magnet hospitals sustained designation for 12 years or longer. This study explored the perspectives of Magnet nurse managers regarding high-performing teams and the sustainability of Magnet designation.
METHODS: A qualitative study of nurse managers was conducted at 1 multidesignated Magnet organization (n = 13). Interview responses were analyzed using pattern recognition of Magnet model domains and characteristics of high-performing teams and then related to factors of Magnet sustainability.
RESULTS: Transformational leadership is both an essential factor for sustainability and a potential barrier to sustainability of Magnet designation.
CONCLUSIONS: Transformational nursing leaders lead high-performing teams and should be in place at all levels as an essential factor in sustaining Magnet redesignation.
