Group Clinical Supervision for midwives

This page gives information to participants about the research study: 'Group Clinical Supervision for midwives in Sydney' (2022 - 2024). Watch this space.

Clinical Supervision is a well-known supportive strategy that has been used in many health disciplines to help promote staff professional development and health and wellbeing. Associate Professor Christine Catling gained a National Health and Medical Research Council investigator grant to investigate whether Group Clinical Supervision makes a difference to Australian midwives and the midwifery wor

kplace culture. We know Clinical Supervision reduces burnout from observational studies, but it has not been studied extensively and experimentally before in the midwifery discipline. For more information on what Clinical Supervision is please go to the Australian Clinical Supervision Association site (www.clinicalsupervision.org.au).The cluster randomised controlled trial (for maternity units in Greater Sydney) will involve 12 maternity sites (the ‘clusters’). Each cluster will be randomised to either receive the intervention (Group Clinical Supervision) or not. The trial will measure midwifery burnout rates (using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory) (Kristensen et al, 2005), the perceptions of their workplace culture (using the Australian Midwifery Workplace Culture (AMWoC) tool (Catling et al. 2020), and intentions to leave the profession. For the intervention sites, the efficacy of the Clinical Supervision will be measured through using the Clinical Supervision Evaluation Questionnaire (CSEQ) (Horton, 2008). Data on the numbers of midwives exiting the organisation and rates of sick leave will be collected. The results of this 5-year study are forthcoming.
