Abstract

Objective

To describe empirical relationships between clinical supervision and nurses' resilience.

Design

Scoping review.

Data sources

Electronic databases included: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (OVID) & Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (OVID), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) Complete (EBSCO), EMCARE (OVID), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline, EBSCO), and Scopus, and for grey literature, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses.

Review methods

We searched electronic bibliographic databases from database inception to May 2024 for published original articles and theses of any study design reporting clinical supervision and resilience in nurses, from studenthood and throughout the profession. Articles and theses were exported, deduped, dual screened, data were extracted and analysed, and studies were appraised.

Results

Seven publications were included, five reported qualitative findings, two reported quantitative and mixed methods results. Studies differed widely in the ways in which the relationship between clinical supervision and resilience were either explored and/or the ways this relationship became apparent. Five reported delivery of an intervention but differed in whether resilience or clinical supervision was a target of the intervention, one reported delivery of a workplace resilience intervention. Remaining studies were observational. One of the seven included studies met all criteria for methodological quality. Available evidence was consistent with the notion that clinical supervision may support and enhance resilience in nurses, however the evidence was not strong.

Conclusions

The absence of rigorous controlled studies that include standardised assessment of outcomes, and that are reported to a high standard, represents a gap in the literature. This gap provides an opportunity to further investigate the possibility of a causal link between clinical supervision and resilience, and the factors that affect it.

护士的临床监督和心理弹性：一个范围综述

目的探讨临床监督与护士心理弹性之间的实证关系。DesignScoping审查。数据来源电子数据库包括：Cochrane中央对照试验注册库（OVID） & Cochrane系统评价数据库（OVID），护理和相关健康文献累积索引（CINAHL） Complete (EBSCO), EMCARE (OVID)，医学文献分析和检索系统在线（Medline， EBSCO）和Scopus，灰色文献，ProQuest学位论文和论文。回顾方法：我们检索了从数据库建立到2024年5月的电子文献数据库，检索了所有研究设计中报告护士临床监督和恢复力的已发表的原创文章和论文，包括学生时期和整个职业。文章和论文被导出、删除、双重筛选，数据被提取和分析，研究被评价。结果共纳入7篇文献，5篇报道定性结果，2篇报道定量和混合方法结果。在临床监督和心理弹性之间的关系的探索和/或这种关系变得明显的方式上，研究的差异很大。五个报告了干预措施的实施，但在恢复力或临床监督是否是干预的目标方面存在差异，一个报告了工作场所恢复力干预的实施。其余的研究都是观察性的。纳入的七个研究中有一个符合方法学质量的所有标准。现有的证据与临床监督可以支持和增强护士的复原力的观点是一致的，但是证据并不强。结论：缺乏严格的对照研究，包括对结果的标准化评估，并以高标准报告，这代表了文献中的空白。这一差距提供了一个机会，进一步调查临床监督和恢复力之间的因果关系的可能性，以及影响它的因素。范围审查协议注册开放科学框架（OSF）： https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/KVGPD。
