Abstract(s)

Objectives: to describe nurses’ perception of the influence of clinical supervision on improving quality indicators in nursing care. Methods: exploratory research with a qualitative approach, carried out with 16 nurses using the focus group. Data processing emerged from lexicographical textual analysis, resorting to Descending Hierarchical Classification and similarity analysis. Results: 80.0% retention of 185 text segments with six-class construction. The words were represented by four graphs (supervisor, audit, care, and process); and three subgraphs (implementation, sharing and knowledge). Final Considerations: in the perception of nurses, supervision influences quality indicators in nursing care.
