Two supervisors with 2 years experience of supervising nursing staff caring for older people were interviewed. CONCLUSIONS: Results point to the need for support for supervisors in order to enable them to develop their supervisory abilities and skills. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Support is of crucial importance for both the ability to supervise and the quality of supervision.
