description The aim of this review is to explain the importance of empowerment the family which is very important in terms of family and nursing care, the benefits to the family, the child and the health care workers, and to provide concrete suggestions for implementation steps and application in pediatric nursing. Empowering the family, which enables the elimination of internal and external forces during stressful periods of the family, contributes positively to both families and nurses. When nurses focus on the strengths of the patient and family in their care, they start empowerment-based care. Pediatric nurses, who take care of the empowerment of the family and play an active role for this purpose, help the child and the family to maintain their hopes for the future, to meet their needs, to maintain family functionality, to access resources and information. In addition, nurses using this approach find their own self more easily, get more satisfaction from the profession and life, collect more comprehensive data about the patient and family, and provide effective care. For this reason, it is recommended that pediatric nurses adopt the family empowerment approach in care practices, develop an assessment tool to measure family empowerment, and increase their knowledge and experience in this area.
