“…The results also show a wider difference between supervision of health social workers and statutory social workers than the minor differences found by Scott and Farrow (1993). The results of this survey are markedly different from the ambivalence reported in the German study of supervision within health settings and the lack of participation in clinical supervision reported in the Ontario study (Geißler-Piltz, 2011;Sewell et al, 2021). The NGO supervision findings show a more positive experience of supervision than those reported in the comparative UK and Australian study (Robinson, 2013).…”

“…In the last decade, there has been specific research about supervision in child welfare, health and NGO settings ( Geißler-Piltz, 2011;McPherson et al, 2016;Rankine et al, 2018;Robinson, 2013;Sewell et al, 2021;Wilkins et al, 2017). British research about child welfare supervision has identified what happens in supervision, how it is recorded, a lack of time and space for reflection and supervision having primarily a managerial focus ( Beddoe et al, 2021;Saltiel, 2017;Wilkins et al, 2017).…”

INTRODUCTION: This article examines the supervisory experiences and views of registered social workers across the practice areas of statutory services, health and non-government organisations (NGOs.) The article aims to establish a baseline for supervision across areas of practice in Aotearoa New Zealand and discuss the implications any differences have for the supervision of registered social workers.METHODS: Demographic data from 266 postal survey respondents was descriptively analysed. A one-way ANOVA and Tamhane T2 post hoc tests were applied using IBM SPSS 24 to explore variances in means for the independent variable of Area of Practice across 10 scales about the respondents’ supervision experiences.FINDINGS: Differences were identified in the workforce profile of each area, and there were significant differences in supervisees’ experiences of supervision across areas of practice which reflected each area’s different supervision culture, policy, and practices. The findings show that supervision in health and NGO areas was more professional, clinical, cultural, reflective and involved more positive content within a more constructive supervision climate than supervision in the statutory area.CONCLUSIONS: A significant difference was found between the quality of supervision experienced by social workers in health and NGOs and their statutory social work colleagues. This needs to be addressed through changing the supervision climate, developing supervisor capability and the uncluttering of supervision through separating professional/clinical supervision from line management. This study provides a foundation for further research that compares supervision across practice areas.

Resumen. Los trabajadores sociales sanitarios fueron introducidos en la atención primaria de salud como resultado de la reforma sanitaria ocurrida en España, en los años 1980. Sus actuaciones estaban dirigidas inicialmente al abordaje de los problemas psicosociales individuales y a la intervención en la comunidad. Con el objetivo de analizar si el rol de estos profesionales ha ido evolucionado para adaptarse a las necesidades actuales de la institución y afrontar las nuevas demandas de la población, se llevó a cabo una investigación cualitativa, desde una perspectiva descriptiva, inductiva y evolutiva, mediante el examen de los programas y protocolos del Servicio Canario de Salud. Los resultados indican que se trata de un rol polifacético que se ha ido transformando para hacer frente a las nuevas necesidades de la población a la vez que se encaran desafíos que obligan a la redefinición del perfil profesional. Palabras clave: investigación cualitativa; trabajo social sanitario; atención primaria; rol.
