Official title
SuperAssist: Client-Centered Supervision Assist App for Mental Health Providers to Improve Job Well-being and Quality of Care
Overview
The goal of this pilot study is to test a Supervision Assist App (SuperAssist) for implementing Client-Centered Supervision (CCS) to improve supervision practices for mental health providers (providers). During previous Aims 1 and 2, a SuperAssist beta version was designed and developed before beta testing of SuperAssist with providers and supervisors. During this pilot randomized controlled trial (Aim 3), the investigators will evaluate the feasibility, preliminary outcomes, and change mechanisms of SuperAssist.
Interventions
- Other Client-centered supervision training and use of a mobile app
Behavioral health staff will learn how to implement client-centered practice and supervision with SuperAssist (Supervision Assist App). SuperAssist is designed to facilitate supervision practices around clients' identified goals and needs, which may positively impact clinician job well-being (e.g., burnout, job satisfaction), professional growth, the quality of care, and eventually client outcomes.
Primary outcome measures
- Change from Baseline Perception of Supervisory Support (PSS) Scale at 3 months [Time frame: measured with staff at 3 months]
- Change from Baseline Perception of Supervisory Support (PSS) Scale at 6 months [Time frame: measured with staff at 6 months]
