The results reinforce the difficulties in measuring empowerment given the complexity of this concept. The improved and shortened adaptation of the scale could potentially be used within health care settings to measure empowerment, but further research is needed to conceptualize and measure empowerment in patients with mental health problems. Given scarce support for the scale's unidimensionallity, future research should explore using multiple instruments targeting different constructs to measure patient empowerment more comprehensively
