Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 17   EBP 2417 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Step — Empowerment

Captions available

The idea

People must be empowered to change their behaviour, which means removing the barriers that prevent it — inadequate resources and inadequate skills among them.

In practice

A barrier removed so that the asked-for behaviour becomes possible.

Where people slip

If barriers stay, individuals become frustrated and the change is undermined. Asking for a behaviour the setting prevents produces resentment, not adoption.
