Enhancing Psychological Resilience in Youth Welfare Professionals: The Role of Regular Supervision, Supervision Formats, and Frequency

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This quantitative, cross-sectional study examines how regular participation in supervision influences psychological resilience among youth welfare professionals in Germany, considering various supervision forms (individual, team, and combined) and frequencies. Using standardized questionnaires (RS-25, Maslach Burnout Inventory, Supervision Quality Questionnaire), data from 103 professionals were analyzed. Findings indicate that regular supervision significantly enhances resilience, with combined individual and team supervision formats yielding the highest resilience scores. Furthermore, supervision frequency positively impacts resilience, particularly among less experienced professionals. These results underline the importance of structured supervision practices for mitigating professional stress and strengthening resilience, offering valuable implications for policy and practice in youth welfare institutions.
