“…This literature asserts how empowering characteristics such as patient decision‐making, effective dialogue between clinicians and patients, and coping skills, showed effective illness management, improved health behaviours, and mental health outcomes. These findings were also apparent in studies which focused on empowerment and health outcomes for individuals with chronic mental illness (Frame, ; Lorig, Sobel, Ritter, Lauren, & Hobbs, ; Lorig, Ritter, et al ., ; Melnyk et al ., ; Rosenfield, ). This literature demonstrates the positive impact of empowerment on one's self‐efficacy, confidence, self‐esteem, motivation, personal control, critical awareness, ability to problem solve, and skills development.…”

“…The importance of empowerment in relation to mental health from an adult perspective is well documented (Brosnan, ; Frame, ; Garcia, Vasiliou, & Penketh, ; Harper & Speed, ; Pitt et al ., ; Starkey, ; WHO, ; Woodall et al ., ), but far less understood from the perspective of young people. Current conceptual definitions of empowerment are derived from research with adults and are problematic when applied to young people experiencing mental health problems.…”

Objectives There is consensus that empowerment is key to recovery from mental health problems, enabling a person to take charge of their life and make informed choices and decisions about their life. However, little is known about the mechanisms through which empowerment affects mental health in young people. The current study involved young people aged 16–29 years and examined empowerment as a potential mediator of the relationship between psychological factors (psychosocial, cognition, coping, and control) and mental health, well‐being, and recovery from personal problems. Methods A cross‐sectional, Internet‐based questionnaire study recruited 423 young people aged between 16 and 29 attending universities in England (n = 336) and Ireland (n = 87). Psychological factors, mental well‐being, empowerment, and recovery from personal problems were measured using self‐report measures. Results Mediation analysis in both the single and one over‐arching mediator models revealed that empowerment mediates the relationship between psychological factors (psychosocial, self‐efficacy, thinking style, coping, and control) and mental health, well‐being, and recovery from general life problems. Conclusions This study demonstrates the importance of empowerment, showing that it mediates the relationship between psychological processes and mental health, well‐being, and recovery in young people. Clinical implications for working with young people within mental health services, and facilitating their empowerment are discussed. Practitioner points Empowerment is currently a poorly defined concept. This study demonstrates how empowerment mediates the relationship between psychological processes and mental health, well‐being, and recovery in young people. Clinicians working with young people might benefit from a structured means of understanding and assessing the different ways in which individuals manage their thinking styles. Empowerment in young people is influenced by the manner in which clinicians facilitate them in establishing social networks in support of employment, education, family/social relations and to encourage young people to take an assertive role in their own care.

“…ADHD is a neurological disorder that affects adaptive functioning related to the impairment of four executive neuropsychological abilities: working memory, self-regulation of affect, motivation arousal, and internalization and reconstitution of speech (Barkley, 2006; Wu, Anderson, & Castiello, 2002). ADHD is characterized by behavioral symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity as a persistent pattern throughout the life span which occurs across multiple settings (Barkley, 2006; Biederman, 2005; Diamantopoulou, Henricsson, & Rydell, 2005; Frame, 2003). Those who are diagnosed with ADHD are a heterogenic group and may have comorbidity with oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, mood disorder, and anxiety (Biederman, 2005).…”

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders, and little attention has been paid to the parents and their experiences. The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the Norwegian parents' lived experiences of having a child with an ADHD diagnosis. A descriptive design using phenomenological approach was chosen as the research method. Individual qualitative interviews with nine parents, who were members of the ADHD Association, were conducted. The interviews were analyzed according to Colaizzi's method. The essential structure of the parents' experiences was Contending and Adapting Every Day-Windsurfing in unpredictable waters which was embedded in the interrelated main themes: Maintaining the Self and Parenthood, and Interacting With the Surrounding World. Being the parent of a child with ADHD is a demanding situation. Nurses need to address the needs of these parents and focus on the family unit.

“…Empowerment interventions, often consisting of support groups, educational opportunities, caregiver empowerment, patient decision-making, changes in health care services and advocacy efforts, have been actively pursued in diabetes care and other chronic diseases (110)(111)(112)(113)(114)(115) (109,(123)(124)(125). Self-management education for diabetes patients has shown impact through two systematic reviews; eleven studies of group-based education found improvements in diabetes control, knowledge and need for medication, associated with increased self-empowerment, self-management skills and treatment satisfaction (126).…”

This is a Health Evidence Network (HEN) synthesis report on the effectiveness of empowerment strategies to improve health and reduce health disparities.The report shows that empowering initiatives can lead to health outcomes and that empowerment is a viable public health strategy. The key message from this review is that empowerment is a complex strategy that sits within complex environments. Effective empowerment strategies may depend as much on the agency and leadership of the people involved, as the overall context in which they take place.HEN, initiated and coordinated by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, is an information service for public health and health care decision-makers in the WHO European Region. Other interested parties might also benefit from HEN.This HEN evidence report is a commissioned work and the contents are the responsibility of the authors. They do not necessarily reflect the official policies of WHO/Europe. The reports were subjected to international review, managed by the HEN team.
