Clinical supervision and Well-being at Work

Clinical supervision, originally a method for learning and teaching professional communication, has become a common method for promoting well-being at work in social and health care. According to the results of this quasi-experimental study, clinical supervision can maintain and promote well-being at work. The factors at work most influenced are increased feedback on the quality of the work and job control. The positive changes in health are most prominent in relation to increased professional efficacy and decreased psychological distress.
