Boundaries in advanced nursing practice: the benefits of group supervision
Aim The aim of this study was to identify the effects of a clinical supervision group on the practice of biofeedback therapists.
Method Qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews, semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation were used to gather data to explore the experience and perceived impact of clinical supervision.
Results Group supervision provided a safe environment for practitioners to share experiences and test ideas about their practice. It increased their ability to set boundaries with clients and realise the limits of their practice.
Conclusion Clinical supervision in a group was found to enhance effectiveness, and professional and personal development.
