A descriptive correlational design was used. Instruments used were the Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire II, which measures nurse empowerment, and the Press Ganey Associates Patient Satisfaction Surveys, which measures patient satisfaction.
Results/Conclusions
Significant relationships were found between nurses' perceptions of empowerment and access to information, opportunity, support, and resources. A significant positive correlation was found between nurses' perceptions of empowerment and patient satisfaction (r = .052; p < .05). Limitations of this study are presented, as well as recommendations for future research.

“Effect of nurses' perceptions of empowerment and patient satisfaction”
What type of abstract is this?
This seems to be an abstract of research paper / article
Would you consider this abstract well written? Why or why not?
It is well written but the author should not reveal the results / conclusion in the abstract. Abstract should be such to create curiosity over the reader’s mind to go through the entire write-up.
Thus I would suggest the author to modify the abstract in such a way to make the reader curious about the research context and compels him to read the entire paper / thesis / article.
Hope my answer helps the author in his study / work
