  • Review of implementation in Finnish healthcare settings.

    • Main Results:

    • Current conceptual analyses of supervision are considered superficial and ambiguous.
    • Nursing supervision often overemphasizes problems, potentially stifling employee creativity.
    • Distinguishing supervision from similar training methods based on goals and content is challenging due to marginal differences.

    Conclusions:

    • A more accurate and comprehensive definition of supervision is needed.
    • Supervision practices in nursing require development to better support quality and innovation.
    • Further research is necessary to refine the understanding and application of supervision in healthcare.
