This study found that the community care nursing competency and communication skills of public health nurses play a crucial role in their psychological and organizational empowerment at work. As they age and gain practical experience, their communication skills improve, thereby enhancing their sense of empowerment in the nursing workplace.
Aim: This study explored the effect of public health nurses' current community care nursing competency on the psychological and organizational empowerment of public health services in Taiwan. Design: A cross-sectional nationwide survey design was used. Methods: A self-developed structured questionnaire was administered to public health nurses. They were recruited using a purposive sampling technique, and they participated in community healthcare workshops. Results: The mean score of Community Care Nursing Competence (CCNC) was 3.92 +/- 0.83. The mean score in Community Empowerment (CE) was 3.66 +/- 0.90. The study revealed that age and communication competence were crucial factors in public health nurses working in the community. With age and through the accumulation of practical experience, public health nurses' communication competence may also improve, which can further enhance their psychological and organizational empowerment in the nursing workplace.
