It seems like this may be loosely related to mindfulness.
Would a search on nurses and mindfulness lead to better outcomes help?
I am not sure if emancipatory knowing is similar to mindfulness but it sounds similar.

I'm still unclear what the term means. Can someone please define it in simpler terms for the stoopid among us?

"It's almost as though there isn't any actual science behind this concept in nursing."And there's it is.
And there's it is.
It looks like more of a philosophical stance/theory than a scientific one. Related to Carper's classic philosophical model of the ways of knowing and the Chinn's work on praxis -- combining "knowing" with "doing."
You can't count on justifying philosophy with science. They are 2 different realms of human existence.

Agreed, I'm completely in the dark here. It's some theory that nursing professors use to indoctrinate their students with a particular political agenda? Really?

OP, did you find no research on emancipatory knowing at all, or did you find research that did not prove a correlation?
So I found this in a google search
Chapter 7 critical theory and emancipatory knowing
It sort of explains it, but I am not convinced that this is something completely new, just something given a fancy tilte

Emancipatory knowing: empowering nursing students toward reflection and action. Snyder M. Nursing students in the 21st century are entering highly complex health care systems that require advocates for social justice and human rights on behalf of patients. Nurses are well positioned as patient advocates.So, indoctrination of nursing students through the unequal power relationship of student/professor to achieve some political end or agenda as a front for the nursing establishment at the school...got it. Who knew nursing school was so complicated?

Whatever happened to learning to clean up poop without leaving any on the patient?

The link reads like something written by R.D. Laing or L. Ron Hubbard. Wordy, cumbersome and with minimal actual content.

It may be easier to find research articles that refute emancipatory knowing such as 'Rethinking Emancipation and Empowerment in Action Research: Lessons From Small Rural Hospitals', Mcleod, M. 2005 Canadian Journal of Nursing Research, in that study the nurses who participated 'became enlightened, but it could not be said that they became emancipated or empowered'
