Methodology: The sample included 273 nurses from a hospital established by the Ministry of Health and a university hospital in Turkey. Data were gathered using Demographic Data Form, Perception of Empowerment Instrument and Problem-Solving Inventory. Results: Turkish nurses' perceived that they were average at solving problems and were moderately empowered. Nurses scored higher on the subscale of responsibility and lower than expected on the subscales of autonomy and participation. Nurses tended to approach the problems directly instead of avoiding them. There was no significant relationship between nurses' perception of empowerment and problem solving self-assessments. Conclusions: This study shows that there is a need to create policies that encourage nurses to use their problem solving ability, work autonomously, have responsibilities at work, and participate in decision-making processes. For nurse managers wishing to create empowered working environment, both nurses's problem solving ability, autonomy, responsibilities and participation in decisions making are factors that need to be well supported in the process of nurse administration. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
