Title: Evaluation of process-oriented supervision of student nurses: a Swedish case study. Author: Lindquist I, Johansson I, Severinsson E. Journal: Nurs Health Sci; 2012 Mar; 14(1):2-7. PubMed ID: 21827585. Abstract: The value of supervision that is provided to student nurses during their education is high. The aim of this study was to evaluate the organizational changes in an educational program for Swedish student nurses, focusing on the content and quality of process-oriented supervision. The research question was: Do the organizational changes pertaining to the student nurses' supervision (its reduced frequency and mandatory nature) influence its content and quality and, if so, in which ways? The data were collected by focus group discussions and were analyzed by a qualitative content analysis. Three themes emerged: difficulties with the new organization, the content and learning outcomes of supervision, and the nurse supervisors' intentions. Supervision is recommended in order to achieve the goal of nursing education and to ensure that student nurses gain an understanding of their experiences, thus equipping them with the professional skills and competence that are required to meet patients' needs.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
