Clinical supervision models used by supervising nurses in hospital admissions: scoping review

Abstract

Objective: To map the clinical supervision models used by supervising nurses in a hospital setting. Context: Clinical supervision in nursing is essential for professional development and quality of care. In Portugal, its implementation has been gradual, with the Proctor model standing out, with its formative, restorative and normative functions. In hospitalisation, supervision faces challenges such as lack of time and resistance to change, but it also provides learning opportunities in complex contexts. It requires technical, relational and reflective skills, promoting autonomous and safe decisions. Materials and methods: A Scoping Review will be conducted, according to the methodology of The Joanna Briggs Institute (2020), using the PCC mnemonic (Population: supervising nurses; Concept: clinical supervision models; Context: hospitalisation). Studies in English, Spanish and Portuguese will be included from the PubMed, LILACS, CINAHL Complete, SciELO and WorldCat databases. The selection of articles will be presented in a PRISMA-ScR (2018) flowchart. The extracted data will be presented in a separate table. Expected results: We expect to identify clinical supervision models used by nurses in the context of hospitalisation during supervisory processes. Potential implications for practice: Studies indicate that supervision improves the safety, efficiency and satisfaction of care, and its implementation in a structured manner is crucial to strengthening nursing practice and management
