The purpose of this qualitative research was to explore nurses' experiences of empowerment in acute care hospital settings. Twelve nurses, including chief nurse executives, nursing care coordinators, and staff nurses were interviewed. Transcriptions of the audiotaped interviews were analyzed for emerging themes. Empowerment emerged as a major factor in continuing growth in the practice of professional nursing within a nurturing and caring environment. A major barrier to empowerment was the hospitals' hierarchical, bureaucratic systems. Nurses, working collectively with clients, other health care providers, and legislators, can create caring systems that promote trust, freedom of practice, and quality health care. This work is both the obligation and the challenge of empowerment.
这项定性研究的目的是探索护士在急症护理医院环境中的赋权经历。采访了12名护士，包括护士长、护理协调员和普通护士。对录音采访的文字记录进行分析，以找出新出现的主题。在一个培育和关爱的环境中，赋权成为专业护理实践持续发展的一个主要因素。赋权的一个主要障碍是医院的等级制度和官僚体系。护士与患者、其他医疗服务提供者和立法者共同努力，可以创建促进信任、执业自由和优质医疗保健的关爱体系。这项工作既是赋权的义务，也是赋权的挑战。
