The nursing department often incurs problems about the performance of the nurses in providing nursing care at the hospital. This condition must get the attention of the head of the room as the manager who is directly responsible for the nursing care provided by the implementing nurse. Supervision is a part of the directional function that has the role of maintaining the department so then all programmed activities can be carried out properly and smoothly. This systematic review was conducted to review the effect of clinical supervision on nurse performance. For the systematic review, a literature search of the PubMed, SAGE, Science direct, and Scopus databases using the keywords ‘nursing’, ‘clinical supervision’, ‘clinical performance’ and ‘nurse performance’ was conducted in February 2019. The search identified 15 relevant research articles from the 2.436 original articles and full texts published between 2013 and 2019. The results show that clinical supervision has the potential to improve staff performance, which will ultimately affect the successful attainment of the hospital. Support from the hospital nursing management in providing support and monitoring is critical to the continuity, sustainability and successful implementation of clinical supervision. Clinical supervision activities conducted regularly in a scheduled manner will spur on the nurse’s performance.

There needs to be actions or policies put in place to decrease the level of nurse burnout syndrome. Before setting the policies or actions, it is important to know the factors that affect the occurrence of burnout syndrome. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the factors that influence the occurrence and incidence of burnout syndrome.Method: The authors specified the topics and keywords used to search the literature, which in turn allowed for the seeking and obtaining of the appropriate literature criteria. The search found 15 pieces of literature.Result: There are several factors that cause burnout syndrome, but the most common factor in the working environment was the poor working conditions and motivation factors of nursing itself.Conclusion: Based on the results above, we can reduce burnout syndrome with modifications in the working environment or improving the nurse’s motivation through policies, dependent on the institution.
