Empowerment an essential ingredient in the clinical environment: a review of the literature
Abstract
Empowerment is an important concept worthy of attention in healthcare. The merits of empowerment are irrefutable including benefits to the organisation and to the individual nurse. Empowered nurses contribute to the clinical learning environment in a positive way. There is a dearth of literature on how or indeed if nursing students are empowered. The process of empowering registered staff/nursing students is not clear. Ward environment and culture are important contributors to patient care, patient safety and staff well-being. It is therefore necessary to address how empowerment can contribute positively to improving the environment in which care is provided.
Keywords: Empowerment; Nursing students and empowerment; Organisational benefits of empowerment; Organisational empowerment; Psychological empowerment.
