Abstract

Development of a successful career in the field of organization is an important factor. Lack of it has implications for health policy, organizational structure and its performance. This study aimed to describe nurses' experiences of barriers to organizational empowerment. Materials & Method: A qualitative design using a conventional content analysis approach was applied for data gathering and analysis. In this study, 18 nurses, and nurse directors in North-west of Iran were recruited through purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect the data. Results: The data analysis results are catogorized in 2 main categories (personal factors and organizational structure) and six subcategories: Dignity and value, non-client focused tasks, insufficient self-confidence, inadequate organizational support, lack of up-to-date knowledge, and professional motivation. Conclusion: The study showed barriers affecting the ability of nurses who are often hidden in the quantitative studies. It seems that by dispelling these barriers, the quality of nursing abilities can be improved.
