Abstract
The purpose of this study was to elucidate public health nurses' empowerment to public health center managers' transformational leadership and public health nurses' social capital. From Feb. 29 to Apr. 8, 2016, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 303 public health nurses, the public nursing officials working at public health centers in Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 program and factors affecting the health-related quality of life were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Public health nurses' empowerment had a positive correlation with transformational leadership and social capital. The managers' transformational leadership perceived by the public health nurses and the social capital of the public health nurses were included in the factors affecting their empowerment. The results of the study indicate that these variables should be considered in developing nursing intervention programs to increase empowerment in public health nurses.
