Assertive women are thought to experience lower levels of depression, improved health outcomes, and increased psychological empowerment. Identifying and studying elements like psychological empowerment can have a big impact on assertiveness. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between psychological empowerment, assertiveness, and demographic characteristics among women working in a tertiary center in central India. A cross-sectional descriptive study design was adopted. A total of 170 females were selected using the probability simple random sampling technique. The study used Spreitzer's Psychological Empowerment Scale and Rathus' Assertiveness Schedule (RAS) to measure psychological empowerment and assertiveness. The study found that 76.5 percent of women felt moderately powerful and 63.5 percent were moderately assertive at work. Results showed a substantial positive connection (p=0.015) between psychological empowerment and assertiveness ratings. The study found that psychologically empowered women have higher job satisfaction, less job pressure, and more confidence, leading to assertive behavior.

Whether you are re-connecting with a lost friend from elementary school, video chatting with a partner that is far away, or making new connections with people that you’ve never met, technology allows us to reach out and touch people in ways that would have been impossible before these advancements. 1 Even though many of us spend a lot of time on our phones and computers, digital abuse isn’t as widely-known as it should be. Part of the reason for that is because it’s so interwoven with the other kinds of abuse that you might have heard about — like physical, sexual, emotional, financial, and verbal — that it’s not often singled out. It’s unlikely that someone will experience digital abuse without also experiencing another kind of abuse, but digital abuse itself is very serious and can be detrimental to a person’s wellbeing. 2

Image and the perception of the profession impact recruitment of students, the view of the public, funding for nursing education and research, relationships with healthcare administrators and other healthcare professionals, government agencies and legislators at all levels of government, and ultimately, the profession's self-identity. Just like individuals may feel depressed or less effective if others view them negatively, professionals can experience similar reactions if their image is not positive. It impacts everything the profession does or wishes to do. Although nurses comprise the majority of healthcare professionals, they are largely invisible.
