Staff empowerment in Finnish intensive care units

Nurses’ perceived work‐related empowerment in Lithuanian context

“…These findings are similar to Suominen’s et al (17) who also found work motivation had a marginally significant relationship with verbal empowerment. Besides, results of Suominen et al (11) indicate that motivation, job satisfaction, respect of job autonomy, and the fact that the job of nurses commanded respect in society were associated with behavioural, verbal, and outcome empowerment. Some of these findings are analogous to the study presented.…”

“…The Work Empowerment Questionnaire has previously been used in other countries (8–11, 14, 27), and was used for the first time in Lithuania.

Maintaining emotional wellbeing in the intensive care unit: A grounded theory study from the perspective of experienced nurses

“…Clinical decision-making is arguably different in the ICU given the nature of critical illness, demanding intensive care of both patient and family (Bucknall & Thomas, 1995). (Stichler, 2009;Suominen, Leino-Kilpi, Merja, Doran, & Puukka, 2001;Varjus, Suominen, & Leino-Kilpi, 2003). In particular, it has been reported that ICU nurses possessed self-confidence in skills and competencies and that job autonomy increased with age and experience (Suominen, et al, 2001).…”
