Testing the role of online group-based supervision for local humanitarian workers following a crisis: A mixed-methods longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT: The 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquakes caused widespread destruction, leaving millions without access to basic needs and services. Caring for Carers (C4C), an online group-based supervision program for Syrian mental health workers, started three months prior to the earthquakes. This study examined the role of this program in supporting the mental and occupational health of the participants following this crisis. A mixed-method longitudinal design was employed with Syrian mental health workers in Türkiye and Northwest Syria (N = 55, 45.5% female), including 16 months of survey data on psychological distress (Kessler-6) and compassion satisfaction (ProQOL), semi-structured interviews with supervisors (N = 10), and video recordings of supervision sessions (N = 9).
