The British Journal of Clinical Psychology
|July 15, 2000
Summary
This systematic review found that the educational pyramid model of supervision positively impacts patients. Effective supervision strategies include monitoring, modeling competence, providing instructions, goal setting, and feedback, benefiting supervisees.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Education
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- Supervision and consultancy are crucial in professional development.
- Few studies have objectively assessed the effectiveness and methodological rigor of supervision models.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review empirical studies on the impact of supervision and consultancy.
- To evaluate the methodological rigor of these studies.
Main Methods:
- A systematic review of 28 empirical studies analyzing the 'consultant-->supervisor-->supervisee-->patient' educational pyramid.
- Inclusion criteria required field conditions and objective learning outcome measures.
- Studies were evaluated using a manual with two independent raters.
Main Results:
- Studies were primarily from the intellectual disability field, often using cognitive-behavioral methods.
- Methodologies were more rigorous than in previous reviews.
- The pyramid approach demonstrated patient benefits, with specific supervision techniques linked to supervisee gains.
Conclusions:
- Despite extensive literature, empirical investigations of the educational pyramid are limited.
- Identified studies showed good methodological rigor but often lacked detailed background information.
- Cognitive-behavioral supervision yielded positive results.
