Group Supervision Attitudes: Supervisory Practices Fostering Resistance to Adoption of Evidence-Based Practices
Brooks, Charles T.; Patterson, David A.; McKiernan, Patrick M.
Qualitative Report, v17 n1 p191-199 Jan 2012
The focus of this study was to qualitatively evaluate worker's attitudes about clinical supervision. It is believed that poor attitudes toward clinical supervision can create barriers during supervision sessions. Fifty-one participants within a social services organization completed an open-ended questionnaire regarding their clinical supervision experiences. Results suggest four key areas which appear to be strong factors in workers' experiences and attitudes regarding group supervision: a. facilitator's skill level; b. creativity; c. utilization of technology; and d. applicability. For organizations interested in overcoming potential barriers to adopting best practices, effectively addressing workers' negative attitudes toward group supervision would be a worthy endeavor.
