Refleksjon over praksis i lys av empowerment – en fokusgruppeundersøkelse

The aim of this study was to develop knowledge of health care professionals’ interpretation of and experience of empowerment in psychiatric care. Patient participation is described as a central strategy in the health services according to the Norwegian political health reform White Papers. However, implementing patient participation is complicated especially in psychiatric practice. Twenty-nine health care professionals were selected to participate in four focus group discussions. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the transcript data. Two main categories were identified; system based legitimizing and discipline-based legitimizing, that describe two aspects that contribute to patient empowerment according to health care professionals. The complexity regarding practicing empowerment requires further research.
