Abstract:
Supervision must be done by nurse managers in order to enhance the quality of nursing care. Most of
the nurse managers in RSI Ibnu Sina could not implement adequate supervision due to lack of
understanding of it, so that the supervision training is needed. This study aims to know the effect of
academic model supervision training in nurse supervision capability. This was quasi-experimental
study with pre-post test only design. Thirty five nursing managers followed the training, there were no
control group. The sample did test before and after the training to know their capability in
supervision. The Wilcoxon test showed that academic model training increases the nurse supervision
capability significantly (p = 0.000). Their supervision capability increases in knowledge, attitudes and
skills. To sum up, academic model supervision can be applied in order to improve the supervision
ability of the nurse managers
