Two key concepts in health promotion within the nurse-client relationship are power and empowerment. Theorists and researchers have not achieved consensus on how they are to be defined and addressed. However, both power and empowerment are recognized to occur at macro and micro levels, and as such need to be addressed at each level. Using a critical nursing perspective, this article explores these concepts it identifies concerns that arise around power and risks that arise in empowerment practice. Nurses are challenge to develop a new way of seeing empowerment practice, and encouraged to focus on 'being with' clients, rather than 'doing to' them.
在护患关系中，健康促进的两个关键概念是权力和赋权。理论家和研究人员尚未就如何定义和处理它们达成共识。然而，权力和赋权在宏观和微观层面都会出现，因此需要在每个层面加以处理。本文从批判性护理的角度探讨了这些概念，识别了围绕权力产生的问题以及赋权实践中出现的风险。护士面临着挑战，需要开发一种看待赋权实践的新方式，并被鼓励专注于与患者“在一起”，而不是对他们“采取行动”。
