Today, empowerment is "fashionable", a popular word that is being used in a variety of situations, especially in the quest for equity & social justice, e.g. gay/lesbian rights, oppressed minorities, women´s movements, etc. It has gained importance as a key process to enable people to gain mastery or control over their own lives.
Hence, "empowerment" has become appealing to nurse-the latter having been dominated/subordinated to physicians, and lacking status and recognition.
Recently the concept of "empowerment" not only attracts attention in the area of management but also is considered as an useful concept in the areas of nursing theory, practice, education, and research.
Empowerment means "sharing" power(sharing ideas, information, knowledge, resources, support, skills, etc). So, there arises a giving and taking relationship. The issue is how much power would "power holders" like to share or give?
Power is necessary for the nurse to successfully conduct objectives of practice in bureaucratic hospital settings and the other nursing areas. To obtain power, the nurse can use stragegies of an empowerment theory to fully operationalize roles in hospitals and the other nursing areas.
In Conclusion
If nurses are going to be participants in changes at societal level, they need to be provided with theoretical frameworks in which social, economic & political forces are given equal weight with the interpersonal aspects of nursing.
