Abstract

Differences of opinion between the three levels of nurse managers on the subject of empowerment exist among nurses in health services. It was unclear how top, middle and functional level managers view their own role in the empowerment of their subordinates. The aim of the study was to identify the elements that are essential for the different levels of nurse managers to ensure an empowered nurse.
