İn the study, hypotheses were created to examine the effect of knowledge sharing on empowerment and nurses working in the health sector were selected as the study universe. 687 nurses working in Kütahya Dumlupınar University Evliya Çelebi Training and Research Hospital were selected as the sample population. A questionnaire was applied to 225 nurses selected by random sampling method from this hospital and data were obtained. As a result of the research, it was found that nurses' sharing knowledge positively contributed to their empowerment.
