“…In our study, nurses who reported participating in end-of-life care education in the past year reported higher levels of psychological empowerment in all domains. This is consistent with Corbally et al, 25 who conducted a qualitative study examining empowerment in 93 nurses and midwives. Education for practice was an antecedent to empowerment.…”

A closed-book, multiple-choice examination following this article tests your under standing of the following objectives:1. Identify common causes of moral distress in critical care nurses who are caring for dying patients. 2. Describe the concept of psychological empowerment and the 4 cognitions it encompasses. 3. Discuss the study findings as related to the relationship between moral distress intensity and frequency, psychological empowerment, and participant demographics. Results Moral distress intensity was high (mean 5.34, SD 1.32) and positively correlated with age (r = 0.179, P = .01). Moral distress frequency was moderate (mean 2.51, SD 0.87) and negatively correlated with nurses' collaboration in end-of-life patient care conferences (r = -0.191, P = .007). Psychological empowerment scores (mean 5.31, SD 1.00) were high and positively correlated with age (r = 0.139, P = .03), years of experience (r = 0.165, P = .01), collaboration in end-of-life-care conferences (r = 0.163, P = .01), and end-of-life-care education (r = 0.221, P = .001) and were negatively correlated with moral distress frequency (r = -0.194, P = .01). Multiple regression analysis revealed that empowerment was a significant predictor of moral distress frequency (β = .222, P < .01). Conclusion The significant negative correlation between psychological empowerment and frequency of moral distress in these nurses indicated that nurses with higher perceived empowerment experience moral distress less often. This finding is of particular interest as interventions to decrease moral distress are sought.

“…The role of nurse managers in this regard is to create conditions that nurses are empowered to make the best possible care for their patients to facilitate [19] .

“…Thus, the personnel's own empowerment is related to how they reinforce their client's empowerment. Organizational factors such as management and culture (Adib Hajbaghery & Salsali 2005, Corbally et al 2007, Cawley & McNamara 2011, professional advocacy (Rodwell 1996, Kuokkanen & Leino-Kilpi 2000, Corbally et al 2007) and personal power (Fulton 1997, Corbally et al 2007) have been typically associated with empowerment among personnel.
