| Sumario: | The purpose of this study was to explore with and empower nurses to create a healing environment. The study's design was a combination study utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods. The primary research question was, 'How is the healing environment of the critical care units affected by the nurses' trust and empowerment?' The Gibbs' TORI Self Scale and Gibbs' TORI Team Scale measured trust and Barrett's Power as Knowing in Participation in Change Tool measured empowerment/power. The qualitative analyses revealed essential structures and a synthesis of unity triangulating with the quantitative results. There are implications for education, practice, and administration. |
