Introdução: O conceito de Empowerment na Enfermagem, tem sido cada vez mais utilizado e analisado na literatura académica. Torna-se um conceito merecedor de exploração e de particular interesse para os Enfermeiros, chefes, e gestores das organizações de saúde. É um produto emergente das interações entre os fatores individuais, e fatores laborais. Destaca-se a importância da perceção dos Enfermeiros acerca do Empowerment numa organização de saúde, tornando-se determinante nos resultados organizacionais, traduzindo-se em maior produtividade e fator motivador e nos Enfermeiros com aumento da competência, autonomia, no ganho do poder individual e coletivo, e nos cuidados prestados.
Objetivos: Avaliar a perceção manifestada pelos Enfermeiros acerca do Empowerment (Psicológico e Estrutural); Identificar os factores que influenciam essa perceção e analisar e refletir sobre as consequências dessa perceção.
Metodologia: Este estudo suporta-se numa metodologia quantitativa, traduzida pela aplicação de questionários. Estes, foram respondidos por Enfermeiros a exercerem funções nos diversos serviços do Hospital Sousa Martins da ULS-Guarda, EPE.

O tempo médio de exercicio profissional dos participantes foi de 17.07 anos, sendo no atual serviço de 9.62 anos. Nos Enfermeiros, a perceção de Empowerment Psicológico está relacionada com a perceção de Empowerment Estrutural. Enfermeiros com mais idade e maior tempo de exercicio profissional revelaram maior Empowerment Psicológico (Competência) e menor Empowerment Estrutural (Oportunidade). Enfermeiros com maior tempo no atual serviço, têm maior Empowerment Psicológico (Competência), e menor Empowerment Estrutural (Oportunidade, Informação, Apoio).
