Exploration of the Practical Application of Multilateral Collaboration to Enhance the Role of External Su-pervisors in Institutions / 中国医院管理

In the management of public hospital,there are many methods to supervise,mainly divided into exter-nal supervision and internal management,aiming to improve the quality of medical management.With the develop-ment and progress of society,many hospitals are not only ensuring medical quality,but also continuously improving patients'humanistic care during medical treatment.As non-medical professionals,external supervisors,from the perspective of bystanders,provide reasonable suggestions to hospitals,which can help them better improve their medical experience during the medical service process.

Supervision outcome of professional education of school counselors in-service training

Professionalization efforts for school counselors through professional education, which are strengthened by supervision during the educational process, aim to improve their clinical and multicultural competence, which is essential in providing guidance and counseling services in schools. Using a quantitative approach and the Supervision Outcome Scale analyzed using the Rasch model, this study examined supervision conducted by university and field supervisors of internship counselors. The results showed that supervision outcomes were in the moderate category in competency development. However, a closer look revealed variations in the level of difficulty of item agreement based on supervisors' perspectives. The study also highlighted challenges in achieving maximum supervision outcomes, including limited internship time. While this study provides important insights into supervision outcomes, limitations such as using a quantitative approach may only partially capture the complexity of the supervision process. Recommendations for future research include using qualitative methods, exploring other factors that reveal supervision outcomes, and researching the impact of internship duration on counselor competency development.

Los esfuerzos de profesionalización para los consejeros escolares a través de la educación profesional, que se refuerzan con la supervisión durante el proceso educativo, tienen como objetivo mejorar su competencia clínica y multicultural, lo cual es esencial para proporcionar servicios de orientación y consejería en las escuelas. Utilizando un enfoque cuantitativo y la escala de resultados de supervisión analizada con el modelo de Rasch, este estudio examinó la supervisión realizada por supervisores universitarios y de campo de los consejeros en prácticas. Los resultados mostraron que la supervisión estaba en la categoría moderada en el desarrollo de competencias. Sin embargo, un análisis más detallado reveló variaciones en el nivel de dificultad para la concordancia de ítems basados en las perspectivas de los supervisores. El estudio también destacó desafíos para lograr resultados óptimos de supervisión, incluyendo el tiempo limitado de prácticas. Aunque este estudio proporciona perspectivas importantes sobre los resultados de la supervisión, limitaciones como el uso de un enfoque cuantitativo pueden captar solo parcialmente la complejidad del proceso de supervisión. Las recomendaciones para investigaciones futuras incluyen el uso de métodos cualitativos, la exploración de otros factores que revelen resultados de la supervisión y la investigación del impacto de la duración de las prácticas en el desarrollo de la competencia de los consejeros.

Overall planning and optimization: characteristics analysis of the medical doctoral supervisor and consideration of the current situation of enrollment / 中华医学教育探索杂志

This study has combed and analyzed the characteristics of medical doctoral supervisors and the enrollment status from 2015 to 2018 in Tongji University School of Medicine. The results show that the distribution of doctoral supervisors' age, gender and professional title is relatively balanced. The enrollment situation shows the clustering trend. There are obvious differences in enrollment among clinical medical disciplines, and the scales of doctoral supervisors and doctoral students are not matched and unevenly distributed. It is essential to give an overall consideration in discipline resources and optimize enrollment allocation, for improving the construction of doctoral supervisors and the quality of doctoral training.

A Questionnaire Survey Toward Pediatric Surgeons in Regional University for Oriental Medicine : Changes Before and After the Absence of Herbal Medicine Supervisory Doctor / 日本東洋医学雑誌

At our institution, various herbal medicines have been prescribed under the supervision of a herbal medicine supervisor for a wide range of clinical conditions in children with pediatric surgical diseases. At present, we continue to prescribe herbal medicines even in the absence of a herbal medicine supervisor. The aim of study is to continue and improve herbal medicines in pediatric surgery. A questionnaire survey was conducted among doctors prescribing herbal medicines in our department, and 14 doctors responded. All doctors agreed on their realization of the efficacy of herbal medicines and their willingness to study herbal medicines. Almost doctors obtained information on herbal medicine from the literature and decided on prescriptions based on the name of the disease and the symptoms. This survey showed that many doctors are aware of the effectiveness of herbal medicines and they prescribe herbal medicines to some extent in their own departments. As a result of this survey, three doctors from our department have received training in outpatient herbal medicine. Investigation of current problems through a fixed-point questionnaire survey would help to recognize the need for herbal medicine treatment in each department.

Family supportive supervisor behavior and compassion fatigue of operating room nurses: the chain mediating effect of bidirectional work-family conflict / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective:To explore the relationship between family supportive supervisor behavior and compassion fatigue of operating room nurses and the mediating role of bidirectional work-family conflict, that is, work interference with family and family interference with work.Methods:In November 2021, a total of 350 operating room nurses in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, the Second Hospital of Shandong University, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University were surveyed by convenience sampling method with questionnaires of self-made general information questionnaire, Work-Family Conflict Scale, Family Supportive Supervisor Behavior Short-Form, and Professional Quality of Life Scale.Results:Family supportive supervisor behavior was negatively correlated with work interference with family and compassion fatigue ( r= -0.211, -0.245, both P<0.01). Work interference with family was positively correlated with compassion fatigue and family interference with work ( r=0.383, 0.274, both P<0.01). Family interference with work was positively correlated with compassion fatigue ( r=0.249, P<0.01). There was no correlation between family supportive supervisor behavior and family interference with work ( r=0.040, P>0.05). The structural equation model showed that bidirectional work-family conflict had multiple chain mediating effects between family supportive supervisor behavior and compassion fatigue ( P<0.05), and the mediating effects were -0.082, accounting for 21.6% of the total effect. Conclusions:Family supportive supervisor behavior can directly or indirectly affect compassion fatigue through work-family conflict. Managers can adopt supportive human resource management policies by implementing family supportive supervisor behavior, to help operating room nurses flexibly balance work-family relationships and reduce role conflict, so as to alleviate the compassion fatigue of operating room nurses.

Investigation and research on the current situation of ethics and morality of medical postgraduate supervisors / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Objective:To explore the evaluation and demand of clinical medical postgraduates for the supervisors' ethics and morality, and to explore ways to construct their ethics and morality in medical education.Methods:In the study, 2 268 clinical medical postgraduates in a medical university in Jiangsu Province were investigated with their satisfaction, compliance and suggestions. Rank sum test was carried out for the satisfaction by using SPSS 26.0, and qualitative analysis was carried out for suggestions.Results:The overall satisfaction of graduate students to the ethics and morality of supervisors was high. All the items described in the supervisors' ethics were "very consistent" more than 80%. Through qualitative analysis, the feedback were divided into six themes namely "supervision and feedback", "supervisor training", "reward and punishment system", "communication", "caring for students" and "academic guidance".Conclusion:The evaluation of clinical medical supervisors' ethics and morality is generally at a high level. The cultivation and guidance of supervisors' ethics and morality, supervision mechanism, and reward and punishment system still need to be improved.

O supervisor suposto saber: perspectivas lacanianas sobre a análise de controle / The supervisor supposed to know: Lacanian perspectives on control analysis / El supervisor supuesto saber: perspectivas lacanianas sobre el análisis de control / Le superviseur supposé savoir: perspectives lacaniennes concernant l'analyse de contrôle

De forma a preservar o ímpeto evolutivo e o alcance da psicanálise, a tarefa da análise de controle é prevenir o estabelecimento da inércia que busca o menor denominador comum e a degeneração de ideias e práticas em evolução na direção de banalizações e preconceitos. A uma instituição psicanalítica é necessário manter padrões mínimos e simultaneamente preservar-se como ambiente vibrante e dinâmico para o contínuo desenvolvimento e regeneração da psicanálise enquanto estrutura viva e simbólica. Através de uma análise de controle, cada analista adquire um estilo analítico único, que não se refere a preferências e idiossincrasias egoicas, mas a uma singular e nova articulação subjetiva dos elementos preexistentes na estrutura tradicional. Sem a realização de uma análise pessoal, a análise da contratransferência e da identificação projetiva em supervisão pode operar como resistência à análise pessoal, essa última o mais importante fator para a autoautorização do analista dentro da organização psicanalítica. O analista não é autorizado pela supervisão ou pelo supervisor, mas pela experiência analítica pessoal com o inconsciente, o sintoma e seus efeitos pós-analíticos sob a forma do que Lacan nomeia de sinthoma. Lacan diz que, ao término da análise, o analisando ou futuro analista não se identifica com o analista, mas sim com seu sinthoma.

The task of control analysis is to preserve the evolutionary impetus and edge of psychoanalysis and prevent the inertia towards the lowest common denominator, and the degeneration of evolved ideas and practices into common assumptions and prejudices. A psychoanalytic organization needs to maintain standards while also preserving the organization as a vibrant and dynamic site for the continuing development and re-invention of psychoanalysis as a living symbolic structure. Through a control analysis every analyst acquires a unique analytical style that does not refer to ego preferences and idiosyncrasies, but to a singular and new subjective articulation of the pre-existing elements of a traditional structure. Without a personal analysis, the analysis of the countertransference and of projective identification in supervision can function as a resistance to the personal analysis which is the most important factor for the self-authorization of the analyst within a psychoanalytic organization. The analyst is not authorized by supervision or the supervisor, but by the personal analytical experience with the unconscious, the symptom, and its post-analytical effects in the form of what Lacan calls the sinthome. Lacan said that at the end of analysis, the analysand or the future analyst does not identify with the analyst, but rather with his/her sinthome.

Con el fin de preservar el ímpetu evolutivo y el alcance del psicoanálisis, la tarea del análisis de control es evitar el establecimiento de inercias que buscan el mínimo común denominador y la degeneración de ideas y prácticas en la evolución en la dirección de trivializaciones y prejuicios. Para una institución psicoanalítica es necesario mantener estándares mínimos y simultáneamente preservarse como un entorno vibrante y dinámico para el desarrollo continuo y la regeneración del psicoanálisis como una estructura viva y simbólica. A través de un análisis de control, cada analista adquiere un estilo analítico único que no se refiere a preferencias del ego e idiosincrasias, sino a una singular y nueva articulación subjetiva de los elementos preexistentes en la estructura tradicional.

De façon à préserver l'élan évolutif et l'étendue de la psychanalyse, la tâche de l'analyse de contrôle est celle de prévenir l'établissement de l'inertie qui cherche le plus petit dénominateur commun et la dégénération d'idées et de pratiques en évolution dans la direction des banalisations et des préjugés. Il faut qu'une institution psychanalytique maintienne des étalons minimaux et simultanément se préserver en tant qu'une ambiance vibrante et dynamique pour le développement continu et régénération de la psychanalyse considérée comme une structure vive et symbolique. Par l'intermédiaire d'une analyse de contrôle, chaque analyste acquiert un style analytique unique qui ne se réfère pas à des préférences et des idiosyncrasies égoïques, mais à une nouvelle articulation singulière et subjective des éléments préexistant dans la structure traditionnelle. Sans mener une analyse personnelle, l'analyse du contre-transfert et de l'identification projective en supervision peuvent opérer en tant que résistance à l'analyse personnelle, cette dernière le plus important élément pour l'auto autorisation de l'analyste chez l'organisation psychanalytique. L'analyste n'est pas autorisé par la supervision ou par le superviseur, mais par l'expérience analytique personnelle du surmoi, du symptôme et de ses effets postanalytiques, sous la forme de ce qui Lacan nomme sinthome. Lacan dit que, à la fin de l'analyse, l'analysant ou le futur analyste ne s'identifie pas à l'analyste, mais à son sinthome.

Research on how family supportive supervisor behaviors influence the medical staff turnover intention / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective To learn the effects of family supportive supervisors on medical staff turnover intention. Methods The scales of family supportive supervisor behavior scales, work-family conflict scale and turnover intention scale were used in the study. The data were collected from a questionnaire survey of 214 army tertiary hospitals′ medical staff during October to December 2017. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to establish a model to understand the influence of family supportive supervisor behavior, two-way conflict between work and family, using the independent variables, on turnover intention of medical staff. Results The and family supportive supervisor behaviors had a negative explanation to medical staff turnover intention ( β = - 0. 211, P < 0. 01), work interference with family had a positive explanation to it (β = 0. 358, P < 0. 01), family interference with work had an obscure explanation to medical staff turnover intention (β = 0. 104, P > 0. 05). Work interference with family had a partially mediating effect which influenced family supportive supervisor behaviors on medical staff turnover intention. Conclusions Family supportive supervisor behavior, as an organizational support, can effectively alleviate the work interference on family for medical staff and thus minimize their turnover intention.

The Interplay Between Supervisor Safety Support and Occupational Health and Safety Vulnerability on Work Injury

BACKGROUND: Workers exposed to hazards without adequate protections are at greater risk of injury and illness. Supervisor activities have also been associated with injury risk. We examined the interplay between supervisor safety support and occupational health and safety (OHS) vulnerability on workplace injury and illness. METHODS: A survey was administered to 2,390 workers employed for more than 15 hrs/week in workplaces with at least five employees who had a direct supervisor. We examined the combined effects of hazard exposure with inadequate protection (OHS vulnerability) and supervisor support on workplace injury and illness, using additive interactions in log-binomial regression models. RESULTS: OHS vulnerability and lack of supervisor support independently increased the likelihood of physical injuries at work. Crude and adjusted models showed that the risk of physical injury was at least 3.5 times higher among those experiencing both OHS vulnerability and a lack of supervisor support than individuals without OHS vulnerability and with a supportive direct supervisor.Workers who experienced vulnerability were at less risk if they had a supervisor who was supportive. CONCLUSION: In workplaces where workers experience one or more types of OHS vulnerability, having a supportive supervisor may play an important role in reducing the risk of injury and protecting workers.

The association between quality of direct supervisor's behavior and depressive mood in Korean wage workers: the 4th Korean Working Conditions Survey

BACKGROUND: Workers spend most of their social lives at work and have relationships of varying nature with people in the workplace. Direct supervisors, in particular, have a direct and lasting impact on workers, which may influence workers' mental health. Depression is very prevalent worldwide, and social concern about the disease is on the rise. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of direct supervisors' behavior on the depressive mood of Korean wage workers. METHODS: We used data from the 4th Korean Working Conditions Survey held in 2014; 22,212 participants were included in the analysis. The quality of a direct supervisor's behavior was categorized from 0 (= lowest) to 5 (= highest) points. The degree of depressive mood was measured on a scale from “normal mood” to “likely depression” based on the 5-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5) questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the association between the quality of the direct supervisor's behavior and the depressive mood of wage workers. RESULTS: After multivariable adjustment, significantly increased odds ratio (OR) for likely depression was found in the 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0 points of the quality of the direct supervisor's behavior compared to 5 points. After stratification for the level of satisfaction with working conditions, the OR of the unsatisfied groups was higher than that of the satisfied groups. CONCLUSIONS: Likely depression was found to be significantly associated with a low quality of direct supervisor's behavior. This association was stronger in workers who were not satisfied with their working conditions. This study suggests that proper management of the direct supervisor's behavior is needed to reduce the risk of depression among Korean wage workers.

Perceived social support and presenteeism among healthcare workers in China: the mediating role of organizational commitment

OBJECTIVES@#We assessed the role of social support in presenteeism by examining organizational commitment among Chinese healthcare workers.@*METHODS@#One thousand four hundred thirty-four healthcare workers from 6 hospitals in 4 Chinese cities completed a questionnaire measuring presenteeism, social support, and organizational commitment. With organizational commitment as the mediator, regression analyses and structural equation modeling were used to test the model.@*RESULTS@#Organizational commitment was directly inversely associated with presenteeism (β = - 0.42, p 0.05). The correlation between supervisor support and coworker support was significant (β = 0.71, p <0.001). Supervisor support and coworker support were significantly positively associated with organizational commitment (β = 0.41, p < 0.001, and β = 0.14, p < 0.001, respectively).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Supervisor support was more important in promoting organizational commitment, while coworker support was more effective in reducing presenteeism. The mediating effect of organizational commitment was significant.

Theoretical construction of type classification for graduate supervisors and its transformation mode / 中华医学教育探索杂志

The theoretical framework classifies the ideal types of graduate supervisors,which is based on "the attention that the supervisor pays on academic research" and "the attention that the supervisor pays on clerical work".The author elaborates the characteristics of each type of supervisor and enumerates some possible causes for the different types of supervisors.According to the occupational characteristics of the graduate supervisors in China and taking into account the two influence factors as "personal ambition" and "relative deprivation",a theoretical model of supervisor type transformation model based on academic research and clerical work is presented and the causes of this transformation are also briefly analyzed,which provides the theoretical basis for the related research and management practice of graduate supervisors.

Association between supervisors' behavior and wage workers' job stress in Korea: analysis of the fourth Korean working conditions survey

BACKGROUND: In modern society, many workers are stressed. Supervisors' support or behavior can affect the emotional or psychological part of the worker. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of supervisor's behavior on worker's stress. METHODS: The study included 19,272 subjects following the assignment of weighted values to workers other than soldiers using data from the Fourth Korean Working Condition Survey. Supervisors' behavior was measured using 5 items: “supervisor feedback regarding work,”“respectful attitude,”“good conflict-resolution ability,”“good work-related planning and organizational ability,” and the encouragement of participation in important decision making. Job stress was measured using 1 item: “I experience stress at work.” Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the effects of supervisors' behavioral, general, occupational, and psychosocial characteristics on job stress in workers. Organizational characteristics associated with supervisors' behavior were also analyzed. RESULTS: The results showed that supervisors' provision of feedback regarding work increased workers' job stress (OR = 1.329, 95% CI = 1.203 ~ 1.468). When a supervisor respect workers (OR = 0.812, 95% CI = 0.722 ~ 0.913) or good at planning and organizing works (OR = 0.816, 95% CI: 0.732 ~ 0.910), workers' job stress decreased. In particular, the two types of supervisor behaviors, other than feedback regarding work, were high in private-sector organizations employing less than 300 employees. CONCLUSION: Supervisors' behavior influenced job stress levels in workers. Therefore, it is necessary to increase education regarding the effects of supervisors' behavior on job stress, which should initially be provided in private-sector organizations with up to 300 employees.
