- AIM: To examine clinical nurse supervisors' styles, in terms of models, organization, focus on supervision and theories used in supervision, as well as their perceptions of ethical dilemmas within health care. BACKGROUND: The importance of clinical supervision in clinical practice has been reported. However, literature dealing with its implementation is rare. METHODS: This study is a descriptive-correlational study. Data were collected by means of a questionnaire from two groups of nurse supervisors randomly selected from a university (n = 55) and a hospital (n = 31). Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS: The models most frequently used were 'case-oriented' and 'decision-making oriented'. The nurse supervision was reported as being organized on a one-to-one basis. The focus of supervision was on 'patient problems' and 'cooperation in team'. The theory most commonly used was the theory of reflection. The supervisors' perceptions of moral dilemmas were related to 'decision making' and actions impacting on quality of care resulting from their supervisor styles. CONCLUSION: By correlating the supervisors' styles and their perceptions of ethical dilemmas, we conclude that it is important to contribute to further research on supervisors' styles in order to ensure successful supervision.

Nurses' reflections on episodes occurring during their provision of care : an interview study
- 2001
-
In: International Journal of Nursing Studies. - 0020-7489 .- 1873-491X. ; 38:1, s. 71-7
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this study was to investigate nurses' reflections and interpretations regarding their provision of care, through interviews (N 46), using a hermeneutic method of analysis. Nurses work in a milieu that has undergone constant changes such as, in organisation, decreased number of staff, and with patients demanding more advanced care. The care provided, based on the nurses' narrated episodes were interpreted as two main aspects: interpersonal oriented aspects and task oriented aspects. The subaspects were identified as 'nurse-patient relationship', 'ability to understand the patients' suffering' and 'taking responsibility'.

- 2004
-
In: Nursing and Health Sciences. - : Wiley. - 1441-0745 .- 1442-2018. ; 6:3, s. 193-200

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between work environment and moral sensitivity among Japanese (n = 138) and Norwegian nurses (n = 71), and to compare the results from a sociocultural perspective using a descriptive-correlational design. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results point to a significant relationship between work environment and moral sensitivity for both groups of nurses. In comparison, the Japanese nurses were more focused on 'patient centered oriented care', reported 'work engagement', seeking 'meaning in difficult caring situations' and 'following rules'. In addition, they ranked the factor 'values in action of patient care' as significant and 'relation to superior and colleagues' and 'job stress and anxiety' ranked significant to 'moral conflicts'. The Norwegian nurses were more independent, which was correlated with moderate significance with 'job stress and anxiety'. A significant correlation was found between 'physical and mental symptoms' and 'moral conflicts' among Norwegian nurses.

- 1997
-
In: Journal of Clinical Nursing. - United Kingdom : Wiley Blackwell Publishing Ltd.. - 0962-1067. ; 6:5, s. 389-394
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate nurses' views of the effects of clinical supervision in terms of its influence over their working situation, as well as their satisfaction with their working milieu. The nurses who took part in an education programme and a clinical supervision programme worked on two wards in a medical clinic. Nurses answered a questionnaire measuring the psychosocial environment. Data were analysed by means of descriptive statistics. Results showed that the nurses felt more confirmed in their work and more satisfied with the information given after 9 months of clinical supervision. Results point to the need for further investigations concerning clinical supervision as a method of achieving job satisfaction among nurses.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Various studies have demonstrated that nursing is stressful and that the incidence of occupational stress-related burnout in the profession is high. AIM: This descriptive-correlational study examined nurses' satisfaction with their psychosocial work environment, their moral sensitivity and differences in outcomes of clinical nursing supervision in relation to nurses' well-being by systematically comparing supervised and unsupervised nurses. METHODS: Nurses were selected from two hospitals (n = 71). Data collection was by means of questionnaires and analysed by descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS: The nurses' satisfaction with their psychosocial work environment was reflected in six factors: 'job stress and anxiety', 'relationship with colleagues', 'collaboration and good communication', 'job motivation', 'work demands' and 'professional development'. The nurses' perceptions of moral sensitivity comprised seven factors: 'grounds for actions', 'ethical conflicts', 'values in care', 'independence patient-oriented care', 'the desire to provide high-quality care' and 'the desire to provide high-quality care creates ethical dilemmas'. Nurses well-being were reflected in four factors 'physical symptom and anxiety', 'feelings of not being in control', 'engagement and motivation' and 'eye strain sleep disturbance'. The moral sensitivity 'ethical conflicts' were found to have mild negative correlations with psychosocial work environment 'job stress and anxiety professional development' and with 'total score' psychosocial work, moral sensitivity factor 'independence were correlated with psychosocial work factor 'relationships with colleagues' and 'total score', moral sensitivity were mildly correlated with 'collaboration and good communication and had a negative correlation to psychosocial work factor 'work demands'. In addition, significant correlations were found between the nurses' well-being profile and demographic variables, between 'engagement and motivation' and 'absence due to illness' and between 'time allocation for tasks', 'physical symptoms and anxiety' and 'age'. Mild significant differences were found between nurses attending and not attending group supervision and between 'physical symptoms and anxiety' and 'feelings of not being in control'. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that ethical conflicts in nursing are a source of job-related stress and anxiety. The outcome of supporting nurses by clinical nursing supervision may have a positive influence on their perceptions of well-being. clinical nursing supervision have a positive effect on nurses physical symptoms and their feeling of anxiety as well as having a sense of being in control of the situation. We also conclude that psychosocial work have an influence on nurses experience of having or not having control and their engagement and motivation.

Reflection on how clinical nursing supervision enhances nurses' experiences of well-being related to their psychosocial work environment
- 2006
-
In: Journal of Nursing Management. - : Hindawi Limited. - 0966-0429 .- 1365-2834. ; 14:8, s. 610-616
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Aim: The aim of this study was to make a synthesis of three studies that deal with the following research question: 'How does clinical nursing supervision enhance nurses' experiences of well-being in relation to their psychosocial work environment?' Background: Clinical nursing supervision is one way to support nurses in coping with their stressful work situation. Method: A hermeneutic approach was used to reflect and interpret nurses' experiences of well-being in relation to clinical nursing supervision and psychosocial work environment. Results: The findings suggest that clinical nursing supervision has an influence on nurses' experiences of well-being and in relation to their psychosocial work environment. Nurses attending clinical nursing supervision reported increased satisfaction with their psychosocial work environment. Conclusions: The significance of caring and nursing becomes evident when nurses realize and understand that clinical nursing supervision positively influences their existence and well-being. The value of work becomes clear when nurses reflect on themselves as professionals and as authentic human beings in clinical nursing supervision. This will lead to the emergence of self-recognition. © 2006 The Authors.

Australian clinical nurse supervisors' ethical decision-making style
- 2002
-
In: Nursing and Health Sciences. - : Wiley. - 1441-0745 .- 1442-2018. ; 4:1-2, s. 15-23
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper explores clinical nurse supervisors' ethical styles with regard to supervision in healthcare. Eighty-six registered nurses, all with experience of supervising clinical nurses and students in nursing, completed a specifically designed questionnaire. A qualitative interpretative content analysis identified three core themes: (i) 'Is it safe?'; (ii) 'Is it right?'; and (iii) 'Is it kind?', describing the clinical nurse supervisors' ethical styles. The first core theme 'Is it safe?' covered the supervisors' rules, codes and values that guide their supervisory actions, as well as two sub-themes: (i) empowerment and (ii) integrity. The second core theme 'Is it right?' described the supervisors' responsibility and advocacy as well as the ethical dilemmas experienced in the supervisory process. The third core theme 'Is it kind?' included the supervisors' relationships with patients, professionals and supervisees. The results demonstrate the value of offering a support system, such as clinical supervision, which helps nurses to explore their professional identity for the benefit of the patients.
