Nurses' perceptions of the elements of good supervision.
This paper explores the concept of good clinical supervision from the perspective of the nurse being supervised. A focused discussion with a group being supervised was used to develop a questionnaire, which was then given to 50 post-registration students who were receiving formal clinical supervision (seven students were on the ENB higher award and 43 were on ENB clinical award courses). A number of characteristics of good supervision were identified. These were grouped into one of three themes: relevant knowledge, supervisory/teaching skills and personal relationship skills. This paper is part of a larger study that aimed to explore the concept of good clinical supervision from the perspectives of the supervisor, the person being supervised, the professional bodies and nursing lecturers.
