Abstract:Objective To analyze the impact of empowerment on psychological empowerment and work engagement among members of the pain care group. Methods Forty-eight members of the pain care group at the Zhongda Hospital Southeast University were selected as the research subjects for empowerment between December 2020 and January 2022. Interventions were conducted through four steps: clarifying responsibilities, training regularly, ensuring the stability of the empowerment process and timely correcting measures. The psychological empowerment scores and Utrecht work engagement scores were compared before and after the intervention. Results Before and after empowerment, there were statistically significant differences between work significance (11.58±1.40 vs 13.60±1.47), autonomy (11.23±1.46 vs 12.81±1.75), work efficiency (10.77±1.63 vs 12.40±1.78) and work impact (10.52±1.49 vs 11.90±1.95) in the psychological empowerment scores of pain care group members （P＜0.05）. There were statistically significant differences in the scores of work engagement level, including vitality (2.97±0.56 vs 3.25±0.42), dedication (3.18±0.43 vs 3.49±0.49) and focus (2.77±0.59 vs 3.10±0.43) before and after empowerment (P＜0.05). Conclusion Empowering members of the pain care group can enhance their psychological empowerment level and work engagement, and play a more active role in managing pain care for hospitalized patients.
