Аннотация: ABSTRACT Clinical supervision for residential care staff is essential and yet has rarely been studied. Drawing from the reflective practice tradition, we interviewed residential care supervisors about their clinical decision-making processes and analyzed the data qualitatively to identify common themes and distill their beliefs and reported practices. We found that supervisors prioritized a compassion-based model of supervision characterized by fostering staff self-care, developing staff's empathy and responsiveness to clients, helping staff with disappointments in their relationships with clients, accurately evaluating client progress, preserving safety, and nurturing teamwork. A supervisor's subjective experience of his caregiving of staff could be explained using a second-level analytic concept we termed a caregiving heuristic—one's beliefs, values, and guidelines for action as a caregiver—of which compassion was, for these supervisors, a foundational element. The supervisors envisioned compassion as a central means by which they could prevent compassion fatigue, develop their staff's caregiving heuristics, and improve job satisfaction and quality of client care.
