This work describes the experiences of work empowerment among nurses engaged in elderly care in southern Finland. The data were collected with a questionnaire that included items on demographic background as well as verbal, behavioral, and outcome empowerment. The data were analyzed statistically. ⋯ All fields of empowerment showed a statistically significant correlation with each another. Education and work experience were also related to behavioral empowerment. The results provide important clues for the development of elderly care.
