dc.description.abstractThis study examines the impact of gender-sensitive group supervision on social workers through a pretest-posttest experimental design. The program was conducted over 8 months, comprising 16 sessions, with 20 social workers aged 25 to 39 from diverse fields in Istanbul. Participants completed pre- and post intervention assessments, including the Personal Information Form, Vocational Interest Scale, Professional Satisfaction Scale, and Power Equity Scale. The supervision program integrated traditional approaches-administrative, educational, and supportive supervision-while emphasizing gender-equality-based practices through case analyses and evaluations.Findings Results indicate that social workers who participated in the gender-sensitive group supervision program experienced significant improvements in their Vocational Interest, Professional Satisfaction, and Power Equity Scale scores. These outcomes demonstrate that addressing gender-sensitive practices in supervision contributes positively to key professional metrics.Applications The findings suggest that integrating gender-sensitive practices into group supervision has the potential to enhance professional satisfaction, equitable power dynamics, and vocational interest among social workers. This approach can be implemented in social work practices to foster more inclusive and effective supervision methods, potentially improving service delivery and professional well-being.
