“…Our research validates previous studies suggesting the presence of sexism in health care (Chrisler et al, 2016; Mesquita Filho et al, 2018; Ozerdogan et al, 2017). For example, Mesquita Filho et al (2018) found that more than half of health professionals may experience gender stereotyping, hostile sexism or benevolent sexism.…”

“…This preferential treatment decreases female nurses' willingness to speak up and advocate for their patients. Similarly, Ozerdogan et al (2017) found that male professionals tend to adopt more hostile sexism to maintain the power‐related advantages of being male (Ozerdogan et al, 2017). The presence of sexism at work may prevent the creation of a positive work culture, which may further contribute to decreased levels of perceived empowerment for nurses.…”

Aim To understand the factors that affect power in hospital‐based nursing and reveal how the female gender affects an individual's ability to feel empowered. Design Critical qualitative research design. Method Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with nurses working in inpatient hospital settings in Utah and New Mexico. Data were collected from February to March 2022. Interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. Results Sixteen participants were interviewed. Six themes were identified from the data, four of which related to nurses' power at work, and two of which specifically related to how gender affects a nurse's ability to use power and feel empowered. These themes include supportive leaders, positive unit culture, successful advocacy, personal factors, societal gender roles and sexism. Conclusion Empowered nurses can revolutionize health care. The themes developed in this study will help nurse leaders and nurses alike increase nurses' ability to use their power and feel empowered in the workplace. Impact Nurse leaders should strive to be supportive of their nurses and build a positive work environment while also providing consistent consequences for sexist actions of staff. Nurses should take opportunities to advocate for their patients, be autonomous and build their knowledge base to improve empowerment. As nurse leaders and nurses alike work together to improve health care, nurse experience, patient and clinical outcomes will be improved. Patient or Public Contribution The nurses interviewed for this study contributed their experiences and insights during data collection. Some also contributed rigour to the data analysis process by participating in member checking.
