Empowerment support with adult female survivors of childhood incest: Part I--Theories and research.
This report is concerned with the concept of empowerment support as a nursing intervention that facilitates the development of mastery, competence, self-worth, and control in the adult female survivor of childhood incest. Empowerment support has been derived from Orem's theory of nursing system. In that theory, empowerment support is encompassed in particular "methods of helping." Theories and research that relate to incest trauma and empowerment support are discussed from an interdisciplinary perspective.
