“…11,12,[36][37][38] The AACN CSI Academy and participating hospitals provided these structures based on evidence that structural and psychological empowerment boosts job satisfaction and decreases job strain. 38 This type of staff empowerment to lead planning efforts that improve clinical outcomes has not become the industry standard, although it is required for successful implementation. 39 Top-performing hospitals believe excellent process and patient outcomes are driven by engaged employees with input from frontline staff.…”

Background Staff nurses are pivotal in leading change related to quality improvement efforts, although many lack skills to steer change from the bedside. The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) staff nurse leadership program, Clinical Scene Investigator (CSI) Academy, teaches and empowers staff nurses in leadership skills and change concepts to translate evidence into practice affecting patient outcomes. Objectives To describe the curriculum of the AACN CSI Academy that provides staff nurses with the leadership skills required to create unit-based change projects that positively impact patient/family outcomes. Methods The curriculum of the Academy included leadership topics, communication, change concepts, quality improvement methods, project management, and data management and analysis. Each team of participants collected project data to show improvements in patient care. The program evaluation used many data sources to assess the program effectiveness, relating to the professional growth of the participant nurses. The participants assessed project patient outcomes, sustainability, and spread. Results The first cohort of CSI participants included 164 direct care nurses from 42 hospitals in 6 cities. They rated the Academy highly in the program evaluation, and they reported that the Academy contributed to their professional development. The individual hospital quality improvement projects resulted in positive patient and estimated fiscal outcomes that were generally sustained 1 year after the program. Conclusion With the skills, tools, and support obtained from participation in the CSI Academy, staff nurses can make substantial contributions to their organizations in clinical and possibly fiscal outcomes.

“…Diversos estudios han mostrado que el empowerment psicológico se relaciona con una mayor satisfacción de los empleados, un elevado compromiso con la empresa y una mayor productividad (Cicolini et al, 2013;Seibert, Wang & Courtright, 2011;Spreitzer, Kizilos & Nason, 1997;Zhou, Wang, Chen & Shi, 2012). Relativamente a la relación entre el empowerment psicológico y la satisfacción laboral, se han observado correlaciones positivas y significativas en diversos países y muestras: en personal médico (Cicolini et al, 2013), vendedores de textiles (Erdogan & Bauer, 2009) o trabajadores de empresas petroquí micas (Yao, 2013).…”

En general, se asume que cuando los trabajadores perciben que tienen autonomía y competencia para realizar tareas con significado y un elevado impacto en la organización, se sienten más satisfechos en sus puestos (Seibert et al, 2011).…”

“…[69][70][71][72][73][74] A majority of participants thought nurses should have more power and input into decisions about their working conditions. Other research [75,76] focusing on empowerment has found that when nurses feel they have some control and power, they provide better care and have higher job satisfaction. Further, participants wanted nurses who have a long experience in patient care to have more influence in health policy and patient advocacy.…”

Background and objective: Nurses deal with complex human rights issues arising from difficult situations and ethical dilemmas involving patients, relatives, and health care professionals. Human rights education can enable nurses to understand principles of human rights and apply them at work in their efforts to provide high quality care. The objective for this study was to describe how human rights material was integrated into a professional ethics course for master degree nursing students and to facilitate nurse educators' efforts to include such material in their courses. Methods: In this qualitative study, data consisted of responses to a human rights assignment by 23 nursing students at a university of applied sciences in Finland. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns and themes from the assignment. Results: Participants' consensus was that human rights education should be part of nursing curricula. Students described what they learned, identified similarities and differences between human rights principles and ethical codes, gave examples applying human rights principles to their work, and stated how they could better protect human rights of nurses and their patients. Conclusions: Learning about human rights reinforces nurses' knowledge and application of ethical codes and increases their awareness of factors necessary for quality care.
