Abstract: |
Current literature suggests that that many of the claims for the positive effects of clinical supervision have remained unsubstantiated. This randomised control study investigated the relationships between clinical supervision, quality of care and patient outcomes, in mental health settings in Queensland, Australia. Participants in the randomised section from nine sites included 139 mental health nurses, 82 patients, and 43 unit staff. Control data were drawn from seven sites and included 71 mental health nurses, 88 patients, and 11 unit staff. Findings confirmed that beneficial and sustainable clinical supervision outcomes accumulated for supervisors and supervisees, as measured by a suite of research methods and instruments including The Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale©, and for patients in one private sector mental health facility. However, the effect clinical supervision had on nominated outcomes still remained difficult to demonstrate. Explanations are offered for this, and a new framework for future outcomes-related research studies is suggested. |
