Empowerment: Reformulation of a Non-Rogerian Concept

Nelma B. Crawford Shearer, RN; PhD

Assistant Professor, Arizona State University College of Nursing, Tempe, Arizona

Pamela G. Reed, RN; PhD; FAAN

Professor, University of Arizona College of Nursing, Tucson, Arizona

The authors present a reformulation of empowerment based upon historical and current perspectives of empowerment and a synthesis of existing literature and Rogerian thought. Reformulation of non-Rogerian concepts familiar to nurses is proposed as a strategy to accelerate the mainstreaming of Rogerian thought into nursing practice and research. The reformulation of empowerment as a participatory process of well-being inherent among human beings may provide nurses with new insights for practice. This paper may also serve as a model for reformulating other non-Rogerian concepts and theories for wider dissemination across the discipline.

Key Words: empowerment • Rogers • science of unitary human beings
