Nurse Professional Competence as a Mediator Between Structural Empowerment and Person‐Centered Climate in Hospital Settings: A Cross‐Sectional Observational Study

Nurse managers and policymakers should promote empowering work environments by ensuring access to information, support, resources, and opportunities for professional development.
