| Annotation | Although the number of older people receiving some kind of care in their everyday lives is increasing, the great difficulties encountered by many caregivers in their work situations are recurrently reported by researchers and the mass media. This article considers process-oriented supervision as a pedagogic method in training and support of nurse aides and managers in Swedish eldercare. With reference to a developmental project, the author discusses the clash between the supervisor's process-oriented manner and staffs' problem-oriented attitudes. This shows that supervision in this form may not necessarily be an effective way of reforming care. Instead, the caregivers point out organisational changes and better leadership as more adequate methods. (RH). |
