Abstract

Nurse burnout is a major health system problem that negatively affects nursing outcomes, including nurses’ organizational commitment, nurse productivity, quality of care, patient safety, and patient satisfaction. Studies on reducing burnout found that work environment is a key factor influencing job burnout. Magnet hospitals concept focuses on creating a suitable working environment for nurses, which can be applied to reduce nurses' burnout. This academic article aims to explain the Magnet hospitals concept and its application through a new five-component model, which includes: 1) Transformational leadership, 2) Structural empowerment, 3) Professional practice models, 4) New knowledge, innovation, and improvement, and 5) Empirical quality outcomes. These components provide a framework for nurse administrators to manage healthcare organizations effectively. Implementing this approach can enhance job satisfaction among nurses, reduce burnout levels, improve nursing quality, ensure patient safety, and ultimately guide organizations toward achieving their goals
