BACKGROUND
Researchers have explored empowerment as an important condition for nursing staff but little current research focuses on empowerment from a middle-management perspective.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this study was to assess the empowerment of a middle-management group made up of only nurse managers (NMs) and assistant nurse managers (ANMs) in an acute-care hospital setting.
METHODS
A questionnaire was distributed online to a convenience sample of NMs (n = 11) and ANMs (n = 31) working in an ethnically diverse acute-care hospital.
RESULTS
Overall, this middle-management group did not feel empowered.
CONCLUSIONS
Empowerment as perceived by middle management is crucial for carrying out leadership duties and, in turn, empowering frontline staff. Even though the work is challenging, resources and support, among other constructs of empowerment, must be improved to increase the empowerment of middle management. Nursing administration must understand the importance of an empowered middle management so that middle management can lead effectively and facilitate the delivery of safe, high-quality patient care.
背景
研究人员已将赋权视为护理人员的一项重要条件，但目前很少有研究从中层管理的角度关注赋权。
目的
本研究的目的是评估在一家急症护理医院环境中，仅由护士长（NMs）和助理护士长（ANMs）组成的中层管理团队的赋权情况。
方法
通过在线方式向一家种族多元化的急症护理医院工作的护士长（n = 11）和助理护士长（n = 31）的便利样本发放问卷。
结果
总体而言，这个中层管理团队感觉没有得到赋权。
结论
中层管理人员所感受到的赋权对于履行领导职责以及进而赋予一线员工权力至关重要。尽管工作具有挑战性，但必须改善资源和支持等其他赋权要素，以增强中层管理的赋权。护理管理层必须理解赋权中层管理的重要性，以便中层管理能够有效领导并促进提供安全、高质量的患者护理。
