Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current situation of medical social worker supervision in Shanghai, for reference to promote the high-quality development of medical social work.Methods:From June to July 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted on the in-service medical social workers in all medical institutions with medical social work departments or posts in Shanghai. The questionnaire mainly included demographic information, current status of supervision implementation, and effectiveness of supervision. The data were analyzed descriptively with t test for comparison between groups and the Pearson test was for correlation analysis. Results:A total of 99 medical social workers were included in this study, 65 had received supervision, and medical institutions where 58 people located had established the supervision system. The average scores of actual and expected supervisory support received by medical social workers were 3.71 and 4.20 respectively, and the mean burnout level score was 32.91. The effect of establishing a supervision institutions on burnout was statistically significant ( P<0.05) and actual access to supervision support was negatively associated with burnout ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall situation of medical social work supervision in Shanghai was positive, but the demand for supervision was not fully satisfied; Supervision had a positive impact on reducing the burnout level. It is suggested that medical social work should further strengthen the cultivation of supervisory talents, promote the construction of supervisory systems, and improve the quality of supervision.
