Abstract |
Despite the widespread acceptance of the value of supervision among practitioners and the large quantity of literature on the topic, there is very little empirical evidence in relation to its effect on clinical practice. It is not clear whether supervision actually produces a change in clinician behaviour, or whether it produces benefits in terms of client outcomes. This thesis evaluates the impact of clinical supervision on five co-ordinators in a rural home care setting. It looks at the impact clinical supervision has on their practice and professional growth. The nurses all belong to one organisation, Access Homehealth Ltd. The study builds on the findings of a clinical supervision pilot, which was trialed within the organisation in 2002. The pilot examined which model of supervision was most beneficial for Access Homehealth staff. Clinical Supervision is defined as a designated interaction between two or more practitioners within a supportive environment, that enhances reflective practice and professionalism, which in turn contributes to improved practice and client outcomes. The methodology of this research was qualitative evaluation. The themes which emerged related to personal support, managing stress and alleviating feelings of isolation, reflection, enhancing practice, improved communication skills and the concept of clinical supervision as a safety net. Participants also revealed that one-on-one supervision appeared more helpful than group supervision, and that phone supervision facilitated in-depth dialogue. These findings are important, as they demonstrate it is feasible to simultaneously offer a number of formats of clinical supervision within one organisation, allowing for the organisation to provide what works best for different workers. They also show that clinical supervision is a valuable and useful support tool for home care co-ordinators in order to facilitate empowerment, reflection and growth in practice. Further research is needed to provide evidence of the benefits of supervision on improving client outcomes. |

Abstract |
Based on the author's thesis, this research project explored nurses' perceptions of clinical leadership in mental health nursing practice. From personal experience and discussion with colleagues the author argues that clinical leadership in terms of support and guidance for nurses is often minimal and that there is a relationship between qualities of clinical leadership and poor retention rates of mental health nurses. |
