The mediating effect of psychological empowerment on the relationship between work environment and clinical decision-making among midwives: a multicentre cross-sectional study.

Midwives' clinical decision-making could be promoted directly or indirectly by providing a healthy work environment and improving psychological empowerment. It is essential for hospital managers to pay attention to the assessment of the midwives' work environment and actively improve it, such as establishing a supportive, fair and just workplace, and maintaining effective communication with midwives. Furthermore, managers can also promote midwives' clinical decision-making behaviour by enhancing their psychological empowerment via enhancing job autonomy.
