Results The results showed a positive correlation between nursing students’ perception of empowerment and their attitudes toward learning. Also, the results showed a strong correlation between students’ perception of empowerment and their academic satisfaction. In addition, in-class teaching was found to be the strongest predictor of students’ perception of empowerment. Conclusions Verified the factors that may contribute to promoting the teaching-learning process to focus and stress on them.
