Abstract

This study aimed to explore experiences of a training and supervision intervention for nurses in nursing homes. This paper reports on the qualitative findings of a larger mixed-methods study. Few studies have explored reactions to training on burnout in nurses working in nursing homes and whether outcomes are sustained. The training consisted of a combination of classroom-based and workplace training, which involved the trainer working alongside the nurses. Interviews were carried out in 2015, exploring how the nurses implemented the knowledge and skills they had been taught and whether burnout was affected by the training intervention. Interviews were conducted with eight nurses who received training followed by supervision (T+S) and five nurses who received training only (TO). The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim and analysed using Template Analysis. Findings are presented under three themes: Experiences of Burnout, Reactions to Training and Experiences of Supervision. The findings indicated the training and supervision interventions empowered nurses to change their practice. Active learning strategies and a person-centred approach to learning empowered the nurses, while clinical supervision aided implementation and adjustment of strategies, leading to an increased sense of job control and job satisfaction.
