| Research Abstract |
During being in hospitals, patients are vulnerable because they must entrust their lives to doctors and nurses. The purpose of this study was to identify the nurses' behaviors or actions related to inpatients' empowerment or disempowerment. Fifteen patients who required in beds at least for five days in hospitals were interviewed. They were asked to describe when they had positive feelings such as "feeling relieved," "being pleased," or "being cheered," and negative feelings such as "feeling distrust toward nurses," "feeling sad," or "hopeless" in the nurse-patient relationship. During activities of daily living (ADL) care nurses' behaviors or actions which led to patients' empowerment were the behaviors or actions such as "making ADL care accepted by patients," "respecting a patient's plan and offering him/her their cooperation," or "telling a patient about his/her daily improvement". On the other hand, nurses' behaviors or actions which led to patients' disempowerment were the behaviors or actions such as "not making efforts to understand a patient's will," "carrying out care without thinking patient's will," or "carrying out care against patient's will".
