Background Baccalaureate nursing education prepares students to become registered nurses in a continuously transforming health care system. Educational environments must allow students opportunities to develop and refine knowledge and skills they need to become life-long learners and practice competently. During their education, students' perceptions of structural and psychological empowerment in the nursing profession begin to form, and the process of reflective thinking is learned and practiced.

520 $a Background Baccalaureate nursing education prepares students to become registered nurses in a continuously transforming health care system. Educational environments must allow students opportunities to develop and refine knowledge and skills they need to become life-long learners and practice competently. During their education, students' perceptions of structural and psychological empowerment in the nursing profession begin to form, and the process of reflective thinking is learned and practiced.
520 $a Purpose, Sample, and Setting The purpose of this research was to: (a) propose a theoretical model for testing after an integrated literature review; (b) further test the psychometric properties of the Reflection Questionnaire; and (c) simultaneously test Kanter's (1977, 1993) theory of Structural Power in Organizations, Spreitzer's (1995) conceptualizations of psychological empowerment, and Mezirow's (1991) descriptions of non-reflective and reflective actions. A convenience sample of third-year baccalaureate nursing students from four collaborative programs in Ontario, Canada was used.
520 $a Method Ethical approval from four universities and six colleges was secured. Data were collected at two time points: near the beginning and end of students' third year in their program. Class time was provided for completion of four instruments: Conditions for Learning Effectiveness, Psychological Empowerment Scale -- Education, Reflection Questionnaire, and a demographic questionnaire.
520 $a Results Latent growth curve modeling was used to test relationships among the three main study variables: structural empowennent, psychological empowennent, and reflective thinking over time. A direct, positive, statistically significant relationship between structural and psychological empowennent for initial levels and rates of change in both classroom and practice environments was revealed. Psychological empowennent mediated the relationship between structural empowennent and the learning outcome reflective thinking. The results of the impact of initial values and changes in empowennent variables on changes in reflective thinking were different depending on the learning environment.
520 $a Conclusions Preliminary evidence for understanding how students perceive three key concepts in their educational environments and continuing to examine the relationships among these concepts was generated in this study. Implications for nurse educators include advancing the understanding of how students' perceptions of access to empowennent structures influences their experiences of personal empowennent and engagement in the learning outcome reflective thinking.
