Psychological empowerment is generally understood to be associated with job satisfaction among nurses. However, recently published literature has questioned this association.
We aimed to systematically investigate through a meta-analysis the association of psychological empowerment with job satisfaction among nurses.
PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, PsycInfo, and Embase were used to search targeted studies from conception to 20 January 2022. The correlation coefficients of each study were extracted and converted into Fisher's Z. Finally, pooled was calculated by Fisher's Z and standard error (SE).
A total of 28 studies encompassing 27 articles with 7,664 registered nurses were included. The pooled correlation coefficient between psychological empowerment and job satisfaction was 0.55. Subgroup analyses were conducted according to ethnicity, and the correlation in the Asian participants ( < 0.01) was significantly stronger ( < 0.05) than that of the Caucasian nurses ( < 0.01).
Psychological empowerment is strongly correlated to job satisfaction for registered nurses, especially among those from Asian countries. Interventions designed for psychological empowerment could be one of the strategies to promote the retention of nurses. Nonetheless, additional future studies are essential for more investigations.
心理授权通常被认为与护士的工作满意度有关。然而，最近发表的文献对这种关联提出了质疑。
我们旨在通过荟萃分析系统研究心理授权与护士工作满意度之间的关联。
从概念到 2022 年 1 月 20 日，我们使用 PubMed、Medline、Cochrane 图书馆、PsycInfo 和 Embase 搜索目标研究。提取每个研究的相关系数，并转换为 Fisher's Z。最后，通过 Fisher's Z 和标准误差（SE）计算合并的 。
共纳入 28 项研究，包括 27 篇文章，共有 7664 名注册护士。心理授权与工作满意度之间的合并相关系数为 0.55。根据种族进行了亚组分析，亚洲参与者（<0.01）的相关性明显更强（<0.05），而白种人护士（<0.01）的相关性则较弱。
心理授权与注册护士的工作满意度密切相关，特别是在来自亚洲国家的护士中。旨在增强心理授权的干预措施可能是促进护士留用的策略之一。然而，还需要更多的未来研究来进行更深入的调查。
