Despite widespread recognition of the importance of reflective practice in the field of infant mental health, little quantitative research exists regarding the impact of reflective supervision on professionals' self-efficacy, job satisfaction, and work-related stress. Thirty-three early childhood interventionists received approximately 9 months of reflective supervision and completed pre- and post-assessments of their job-related stress and self-efficacy using a modified version of the Reflective Supervision Self-Efficacy Scales for Supervisees (S. Shea, S. Goldberg, & D.J. Weatherston, 2012). At the post-assessment, participants also rated their overall experience of reflective supervision. Reported self-efficacy increased significantly from pre- to post-assessment, and participants reported a positive overall impact of reflective supervision with respect to a variety of indices, such as job satisfaction, professional development, and the ability to cope with job-related stress. These results provide necessary quantitative data demonstrating a positive impact of reflective supervision on early childhood professionals and suggest the value of reflective supervision for supporting workforce development.
尽管人们普遍认识到反思性实践在婴儿心理健康领域的重要性，但关于反思性督导对专业人员的自我效能感、工作满意度和工作压力的影响，定量研究却很少。33名幼儿干预专家接受了约9个月的反思性督导，并使用经修改的《被督导者反思性督导自我效能量表》（S. 谢伊、S. 戈德堡和D.J. 韦瑟斯顿，2012年）完成了与工作压力和自我效能感相关的前后评估。在后期评估中，参与者还对他们反思性督导的总体体验进行了评分。报告显示，从评估前到评估后，自我效能感显著提高，参与者报告称反思性督导在工作满意度、专业发展以及应对工作相关压力的能力等各种指标方面产生了积极的总体影响。这些结果提供了必要的定量数据，证明了反思性督导对幼儿专业人员产生的积极影响，并表明反思性督导对支持劳动力发展具有价值。
