Aims: Kanter’s structural empowerment model was used to assess the influence of
access to opportunities, resources, information and support on core burnout through
global empowerment in a nursing sample in Portugal.
Background: The empowerment experience increases the levels of nursing professionals’
satisfaction and performance preventing the emergence of burnout. However,
the relationship between structural empowerment and burnout has been scarcely
studied in Portugal.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional
correlational study assessing a final sample
of 297 participants (62.13% response rate, 63.64% women). Model fit and mediation
test were examined using structural equation modelling (path analysis).
Results: Access to opportunities and access to support had direct impact, through
global empowerment, on core burnout, whereas access to resources had both direct
and indirect impact on core burnout.
Conclusions: The results validated the structural empowerment model and its application
in nursing staff in Portugal.
Implications for Nursing Management: Professional training plans, the development
of formal and informal support networks, and the availability of resources increase the
levels of empowerment and decrease the likelihood of experiencing burnout in nursing
professionals. |
