“…The majority of participants were female, with an average age of 29.8 years. The findings were similar to those reported in a study by Min and Kim [ 23 ] in Korea. However, in that study, 50.3% of the ICU nurses were aged 26–30 years in Korea [ 23 ], while in our study, the participants were younger (66.1% were aged 20–29 years).…”

Intensive care unit (ICU) patients experience highly complex health problems, such as pain, agitation, delirium, immobility, and sleep disruption (PADIS), and require professional nursing care. The assessment of PADIS is critically important for ICU nurses, and therefore, PADIS education programs need to be conducted for these nurses to update and improve their caring knowledge, attitudes, and skills. The aims of this study are to bridge this gap by evaluating the effects of PADIS education programs on the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of these nurses, and compare the difference between novice and advanced nurses after receiving the PADIS education programs over a short period of time. In this quasi-experimental study, 112 nurses in ICUs were recruited by researchers and participated in the PADIS education programs. The PADIS education intervention was performed in a teaching hospital in Taipei. A demographic and self-developed PADIS care knowledge questionnaire was used. A baseline (T1) was measured before the interventions, followed by post-test (T2) immediately after the programs, and subsequently a follow-up (T3) test one month later. The results indicated that knowledge and skill scores between novice and advanced nurses varied significantly in T1 but not in T2 and T3. Thus, education programs can significantly assist novice ICU nurses to improve their short-term knowledge, attitudes, and skills, and PADIS education programs are strongly suggested for clinical nursing practice.

“…Rodwell identifies the freedom to make choices as an attribute of nurse empowerment. Even in a setting without opportunity, nurses may have goals to expand their abilities or work . Without goals, nursing practice becomes a practice of rote tasks devoid of intellectual process or decision‐making.…”

“…The second individual antecedent is opportunity, primarily referred to in the organizational context as the chance to grow and develop or perform different kinds of tasks or work. Min and In Sook noted that lack of opportunity for a differentiated role or function stymied the empowerment of nurses who had a personal desire for growth or development. Kuokkanen et al noted that possibilities for developing work predicted empowerment, and Eo et al found that skill variety affected empowerment.…”

Individual nurse empowerment: A concept analysis

Aim: This concept analysis aims to distinguish the concept of nurse empowerment as an individual professional process rather than a job-related process and to identify ways in which a clarified understanding of individual empowerment can impact the discipline.Background: The history of nursing as a gendered role has led to oppression in the profession as evidenced by lateral violence and attrition. Empowerment initiatives that focus on a nurse within an organization often provide false power.Design: Walker and Avant's method was used for this concept analysis. Data Source: Published literature from 1990 to 2019 was identified from electronic health profession-related databases, and current definitions and uses of empowerment were pulled from empirical works and electronic databases. Review Methods: A review of abstracts and full text from articles relating to nurse empowerment was performed, and empirical studies used to provide an understanding of the concept as used today. Results: True empowerment entails a nurse controlling her practice and career. Elements of individual empowerment can be pulled from existing work on structural and psychological empowerment. Conclusions: Analyzing nurse empowerment from an individual perspective allows us to move beyond the oppressive history of nursing and move the profession forward to impact our communities. K E Y W O R D S concept analysis, professional issues, workforce "What matters is that nurses determine for themselves how to handle their problems and how to improve their situation through meaningful dialog and engagement with nurse leaders concerning their work-life issues." 1 Concept analysis is the process of assessing fundamental components of a concept with the goal of clarifying its applications and giving it greater ability to convey meaning in different contexts. 2 Concept analysis allows us to understand the ways the concept is used in literature and science and how those uses dynamically change over time. The analysis should provide a basis for advancement, refinement, and specification of a concept and provide the foundation for the use of the concept in theory. Walker and Avant's 2 method was chosen for this concept analysis because the deliberate and concrete steps allow us to pinpoint specific uses of individual or professional empowerment and use an iterative process to reinforce the findings. The process dictates a total of eight steps: select a concept, establish aims of analysis, identify uses of the concept, determine defining attributes, identify a model case, identify borderline and illegitimate cases, identify antecedents and consequences, and define empirical referents. 2

“…Using a system theory framework, Patton and McMahon [ 16 ] identified that career advancement can be influenced by individual characteristics, such as gender, past and present events in individual lives, and that the social and political environment of the workplace also impacts upon individual career trajectories. From these and other studies in nursing, the two key motivators for individual decision-making regarding career progression are professional empowerment [ 17 , 18 ] and job satisfaction [ 12 , 15 , 19 , 20 ].…”

Treading the clinical pathway: a qualitative study of advanced practice nurses in a local health district in Australia

BackgroundCareer planning in nursing is often haphazard, with many studies showing that nurses need personal motivation, education, and the support of workplaces, which are often dominated by political and fiscal agendas. Nurses often need institutional and personal support to plan their careers and make decisions regarding their career aspirations.MethodA descriptive qualitative design was used. Data were gathered using semi-structured digitally recorded interviews and analysed for common categories. Twenty seven (n = 27) participants were interviewed.ResultsThere were four categories revealed by the participants who described their career progression experiences: moving up the ladder, changing jobs for career progression, self-driven and the effects of institutional environments.ConclusionMany of the participants’ careers had been shaped serendipitously. Similar to other studies, these nurses felt political, institutional and financial factors impacted on their career opportunities. There are implications for nursing managers with more support required for nurses to plan their career trajectories. In addition to an organisation centred approach to career planning, nurse leaders and managers must take into account the personal and professional requirements of their nurses. Nurses themselves also need to take personal responsibility for career development. Greater support for nurses’ career planning and personal drive will help organisations to plan their future workforce needs.
