Abstract Details

2018, Doctor of Nursing Practice , Case Western Reserve University, School of Nursing.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate and examine the relationship between resiliency and a Certified Nurse-Midwife’s (CNM) perception of empowerment that practice in the United States. Resilience is defined as the personal qualities that enable one to thrive in the face of adversity. Empowerment is defined as the midwife who has the ability, and the desire to practice independently, and autonomously. Methods: This study employed a quantitative descriptive correlational design to assess and evaluate the midwife’s resilience and their perception of empowerment. Fifty-seven CNMs were given a questionnaire, which included specific demographic data, the Perception of Empowerment in Midwifery Practice Scale (PEMS) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD RISC -10). Furthermore, two work dynamic questions were asked and analyzed. Results: The participants of this study were a homogenous sample of Certified Nurse-Midwives attending the 2018 ACNM Ohio Forward conference. The data and statistical analysis revealed and that they had considered themselves both resilient and had a moderate to high level perception of empowerment. Therefore, the null hypothesis for all four research questions was accepted. Conclusions: Organizations, leaders, and educators must think outside the box to promote their employees (nurses, students, and midwives) dimensions of psychological empowerment. An empowered and resilient midwife may empower their clients to make the best decisions for themselves.
