Description
Eileen Lake and nine co-authors published a 2024 meta-analysis that sets world benchmarks for a widely used survey of nurse work settings. The survey, part of the Nursing Work Index, asks nurses how well their hospital supports good practice. Managers need reference values to judge their own scores.
The team searched three databases for studies up to late September 2023. They pooled 160 publications from 38 countries, most of high quality. The average score sat at a modestly positive level. Staffing and resource adequacy scored weakest of all domains. Europe scored lower than Asia and North America, while Africa and South America had few studies. Neonatal intensive care units scored best among unit types. The benchmarks give nurse leaders a shared yardstick.
