This paper discusses how nurses can be empowered to promote their self-efficacy in the provision of mental health care and thus improve the uniqueness, quality, and value of nursing care. Empowered nurses can in turn empower other nurses by sharing the sources of empowerment. They can also provide patients with effective self-management guidelines and thus improve patient satisfaction. Mental health nurses should continually improve their knowledge and skills while innovating and remaining empathetic. When nurses are challenged by decreased job satisfaction stemming from patients' disease chronicity and slow recovery, empowerment can protect them against a loss of confidence and protect a hospital against a high turnover rate.
