ABSTRACT:
Aim: This descriptive correlational study aimed to identify the perception of and to examine the relationship between quality of nursing care and supervision among nurses in Bangladesh. Background: The quality of nursing care is ensured by clinical supervision. However, studies assessing nursing care quality from nurses’ viewpoints in Bangladesh are limited. Method: Data were collected by using self-administered questionnaires answered by 180 random registered nurses. These questionnaires included the Scale of Perception of Nursing Activities that Contribute to Nursing Care Quality (EPAECQC) questionnaire and the Perception of Supervisory Support (PSS) scale. Result: In this study, most of the participants were female, the mean age was 38 years, and over 60% of the participants had over 10 years of work experience. The EPAECQC score (mean [M] = 3.21, standard deviation [SD] = 0.298) and PSS score (M = 4.07, SD = 0.409) revealed a moderate positive correlation between quality of nursing care and supervision (r = 0.41, p < 0.01). The dimensions of “Patient satisfaction,” “Nursing Care Organization,” and “Well-being and self-care” in EPAECQC had a high impact on the quality of nursing care. Conclusion: Enhancing supervision helps improve the quality of nursing care. Implications for Nursing management: Authorities and organizations should maintain job resources on supervisory and organizational support for nurses to provide a high quality of care.
