The authors first review earlier effectiveness studies and the different types of evaluation methods. The chapter introduces key results of the evaluation study and focuses on discussing: (1) how the supervisees’ background variables and infrastructure of CS relate to evaluations of the effectiveness of CS; and (2) how evaluations of CS effectiveness predict supervisee job satisfaction, burnout and assessments of quality of nursing care.
