title: The perceptions of supervisory support scale.
abstract: The implementation of recovery-oriented and evidence-based practices has become a major challenge for mental health systems and front-line practitioners. This study developed an instrument that would assess the benefits or results that accrue from supervision, including client-centered supervision. The Perceptions of Supervisory Support Scale was administered to 262 case managers. Analyses (including factor analyses and repeated measures analysis of variance) confirmed content validity and reliability. Sub-scales included: (1) emotional support; (2) support for client goal achievement; and (3) professional development support. The scale could guide support for front-line practitioners in delivering client-centered care and could be useful for future research.
