Professional Supervision (PS) is a common approach used to reduce the fallout from stress and burnout. It involves monthly face-to-face meetings between a supervisor and supervisee to address well-being and professional goals. This pilot study examines 12 radiation therapists (RTs) perceptions of participating in PS.
Conducted in the Christchurch Radiation Oncology Centre, this mixed-methods pilot study introduced PS in March 2022. In August 2023, 12 RTs completed a QUALTRICS online questionnaire consisting of 33 questions, including the Supervisor Working Alliance Inventory (SWAI). The SWAI assessed the alliance of supervision from a supervisee's perspective and comprised of 19 questions on a 7-point Likert scale and nine yes/no statements with optional comments. Five demographic questions were also included.
All 12 RTs completed the questionnaire, with quantitative results indicating a positive alliance between supervisors and supervisees. RTs found PS to be a safe and comfortable space for reflective practice and support. Thematic analysis of qualitative data from additional comments revealed PS enabled RTs to reflect on career achievements, appreciate highlights of being an RT and consider future career paths within the profession.
Radiation therapists responded positively to PS, suggesting its potential in managing workplace stressors, promoting career advancement and providing dedicated time for reflection, support and guidance. RTs endorsed the efficacy of PS in enhancing their practice and advocated for its widespread adoption among RTs.
专业督导（PS）是一种常用的方法，用于减少压力和职业倦怠的负面影响。它包括督导者和被督导者每月进行面对面会议，以探讨幸福感和职业目标。这项试点研究考察了12名放射治疗师（RT）对参与专业督导的看法。
这项混合方法试点研究于2022年3月在克赖斯特彻奇放射肿瘤中心开展，引入了专业督导。2023年8月，12名放射治疗师完成了一份由33个问题组成的QUALTRICS在线问卷，包括督导工作联盟量表（SWAI）。SWAI从被督导者的角度评估督导联盟，由19个7点李克特量表问题和9个是/否陈述及可选评论组成。还包括5个人口统计学问题。
所有12名放射治疗师都完成了问卷，定量结果表明督导者和被督导者之间存在积极的联盟。放射治疗师发现专业督导是一个进行反思性实践和获得支持的安全舒适的空间。对额外评论的定性数据进行的主题分析显示，专业督导使放射治疗师能够反思职业成就，欣赏作为放射治疗师的亮点，并考虑该职业未来的职业道路。
放射治疗师对专业督导反应积极，表明其在管理工作场所压力源、促进职业发展以及提供专门的反思、支持和指导时间方面具有潜力。放射治疗师认可专业督导在提升其实践能力方面的功效，并主张在放射治疗师中广泛采用该方法。
