Clinical Supervision Evaluation / Research - MCSS-26©
The MCSS-26 is a Clinical Supervision-specific research instrument comprising 26 items, scored on a 5-point response scale from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree.
Licensed users are provided with e-copies of the MCSS-26 User Manual©, dedicated data entry templates, scoring and analytic software, and a personalised Proof of Purchase certificate.
This provides users with the flexibility for easy upload to a preferred online platform and/or conduct a paper-based survey. For evaluations that involve Supervisees who have no previous experience of Clinical Supervision (in a before and after research design), a variant version of the MCSS-26 has been developed to measure their perception of CS, before they engage the experience (details on request).
White Winstanley Ltd was commissioned by NHS Education Scotland to develop a variant version of the MCSS-26 to evaluate the national rollout of the Scottish model of clinical supervision, funded by the Scottish Government. The descriptive poster was accepted for presentation by Dr’s White and Winstanley at the 17th annual International Interdisciplinary Conference on Clinical Supervision, hosted at Redlands University, California, USA in June 2024.
