Sammanfattning

Historically, supervision has had a great significance in vocational training and in the professional training program. I have performed a study of the dialogue between supervisor (nurse) and student in the training program in Nursing. There is little existing documentation about how the supervision dialogue between the contact nurse and the student is accomplished and what it consists of. On the other hand it exists a lot of documentation about what supervision is and how it should be performed. The basis of the study is four observations of the supervision dialogue between contact nurse and student. The observations were carried out at different wards at a hospital in Troms County, Norway. The result showed that the awareness of the dialogue as a significant part of the learning process differs from ward to ward. Through articulate knowledge the students get the possibility to reflect upon their actions. The dialogues left no room for reflections; it was centered on messages and explanations. The contact nurses expressed a wish to get further education in supervision; only one had participated in a few courses. The result of my analysis showed that the dialogues was not organised or planned. Only one of the wards in my study emphasised the supervision dialogue and was aware of the importance of letting the students speak about their experiences.
