Collaborative Fieldwork Supervision: Its Value and Use in Occupational Therapy.

Collaborative supervision is not new to occupational therapy; however, its use remains limited. To identify factors affecting the perceived value and use of collaborative supervision, a survey was developed and disseminated to fieldwork educators seeking their opinions and experiences. The survey had 382 respondents. Familiarity with constructs and prior experience using this collaborative supervision seem to be the highest predictor of use. Understanding the impact of practitioner attributes on the perceived value of collaborative fieldwork can help expand the use of collaborative fieldwork supervision.
