Objective: This study aimed to compare the prevalence of burnout, missed nursing care, and intention-to-leave the job among nurses working in general care units and intensive care units (ICUs), and to analyse the risk factors for these outcomes between the two groups.
Design: This was a cross-sectional study involving online surveys of nurses at participating hospitals conducted between November 2020 and July 2021 as part of the Magnet4Europe initiative.
Setting And Participants: A convenience sample was recruited, consisting of 67 acute care hospitals in 6 countries: Belgium, England, Germany, Ireland, Norway, and Sweden.
Article Synopsis
- - The study surveyed 1,963 physicians across 56 hospitals in six European countries to assess the prevalence of care left undone, finding that 78.3% reported missing at least one care activity during their last shift.
- - Factors like perceived workload and work environment were found to significantly influence these reports, with a 10% increase in perceived workload correlating to higher chances of care activities being incomplete.
- - Leaving care undone was linked to increased emotional exhaustion and lower ratings of care quality, indicating that resource shortages are detrimental to physicians' job satisfaction and the level of care provided.
Background: Magnet hospitals, a concept developed in the U.S., have been associated with improved nurse recruitment and retention, and better patient outcomes.

Design: Baseline cross-sectional survey of 2187 physicians and 6643 nurses practicing in 64 hospitals in six European countries participating in the EU-funded Magnet4Europe intervention to improve clinicians' well-being.
Setting: Acute general hospitals with 150 or more beds in six European countries: Belgium, England, Germany, Ireland, Sweden and Norway.
Background: Healthcare literature suggests that leadership behavior has a profound impact on nurse work-related well-being. Yet, more research is needed to better conceptualize, measure, and analyse the concepts of leadership and well-being, and to understand the psychological mechanisms underlying this association. Combining Self-Determination and Job Demands-Resources theory, this study aims to investigate the association between engaging leadership and burnout and work engagement among nurses by focusing on two explanatory mechanisms: perceived job characteristics (job demands and resources) and intrinsic motivation.
