Head nurses have in the past few decades gained both more power and more responsibilities in their job. Their experience of work empowerment is not known.
The aim of this study was to describe the verbal, behavioural and outcome empowerment experienced by head nurses.
Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, which was sent to 259 head nurses. The data were analysed using statistical methods.
The results suggest that head nurses experience quite strong verbal and behavioural empowerment. They feel less confident in terms of outcome empowerment. Various factors, including stress and the capacity to handle the head nurse's job, were found to correlate with the empowerment experience.
It seems that head nurses do not have enough power to influence the effectiveness of their organization.
在过去几十年里，护士长在工作中获得了更多权力和更多责任。她们的工作赋权体验尚不清楚。
本研究旨在描述护士长所经历的言语、行为和结果赋权情况。
使用结构化问卷收集数据，该问卷发送给了259名护士长。采用统计方法对数据进行分析。
结果表明，护士长经历了相当强烈的言语和行为赋权。她们在结果赋权方面信心不足。发现包括压力和处理护士长工作的能力在内的各种因素与赋权体验相关。
护士长似乎没有足够的权力来影响其组织的有效性。
