Sammanfattning
In a preliminary study,
summarised here, the
theoretical implications of the
concept of confirmation were
studied, through concept
investigation.
The present empirical study was
then conducted, to study the
implications of the concept,
describe how confirmation may
be experienced, both generally
and specifically within nursing
supervision, and describe how
confirmation may provide a
working tool. Fourteen students
and eight teachers (supervisors)
from a supervision programme
at the healthcare college were
interviewed. The findings from
the previous study were used in
the introductory letter sent to
study participants.
Results showed that
confirmation is an important
concept in nursing supervision.
The supervisor strives for a
confirmatory style through body
language, and their attention to
students. In this study, the
supervisors’ methods of
clarifying, summarising and
documenting the supervision
showed some variation. Three
methods were noted: two guided
by students’ responses, as
individuals or groups, and one
guided by the supervisor. The
same supervisory measure could
be experienced by students as
both confirmatory and not, the
most prominent measures being
continuity, structure and the
supervisor’s management of
problem formulation. A
connection was evident between
the concept investigation of the
preliminary study and the
results of the empirical study.
If students are exposed to
process-oriented supervision,
and thereby experience
confirmation, this enhances
their potential to understand
and confirm patients once they
become nurses.
