Abstract

Patient enablement is an outcome of importance to advanced nurse practitioners (ANPs) and an indication of patients’ perceptions of their ability, confidence, and empowerment in managing their health care needs. Using a patient-reported experience measure (PREM), the Patient Enablement and Satisfaction Survey—Advanced Nurse Practitioner measure, this cross-sectional study found that consultation with an ANP in a urology outpatient/ambulatory care setting resulted in a high-level patient enablement. Moreover, content analysis of qualitative data provided by patients in response to an open question revealed experiences of patient-centered and empowerment-focused care following consultation with an ANP in urology.
