Nursing Group Supervision : Reflected Experience-based Knowledge

This report describes a systematic pedagogical process model for clinical supervision. The model is group-based and applicable both in theoretical and clinical training. This model is based on the group participants' experiences in care work aimed at integrating practical and theoretical knowledge. The emotional part of the nursing process refers to nurturing caregivers and supporting the development of personal and empirical professional knowledge. The model is based on group participants' self-perceived experiences in care work. The method of instruction is equally applicable to professionals in the same or different professions within healthcare. The model can further be used at moments of crisis or restructuring work at care facilities. The model can also be used in group supervision of patient/client groups based on different themes. The conversation method involves systematically accounting for a self-perceived situation or problem through questions, and it can also be used as a communication technique in dealing with individual patients and families.
