Implementation of Clinical Supervision Strategies on the Individual Performance Commitment Review (IPCR) Of Nurses in a Government Hospital

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the implementation of clinical supervision strategies in terms of purpose, process, and impact, describe nurses’ IPCR scores, and examine the relationship between clinical supervision strategies and performance ratings. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed involving 205 registered nurses in a Level II government hospital in Surigao City, Philippines. Data were gathered using the Questionnaire for Implementation of Clinical Supervision Strategies (QICSS) and official IPCR records obtained with consent. Descriptive statistics and Pearson r were used for data analysis. Findings revealed that clinical supervision strategies were implemented at a very high level, while nurses’ IPCR ratings were generally very satisfactory. However, no significant relationship was found between the implementation of clinical supervision strategies and IPCR scores. These results suggest that clinical supervision primarily functions as a developmental and supportive process, while performance appraisal reflects institutional standards and measurable outputs. The study recommends strengthening alignment between supervision practices and performance evaluation systems through a Clinical Supervision Performance Enhancement Plan to further support nursing development and organizational effectiveness.
