Abstract
  • The purpose of this dissertation was to explore the relationship between the personal spiritual and religious practices of counselor supervisors and their wellness and spiritual competence. A cross sectional survey design was used to collect information about the frequency and importance of both spiritual and religious practices, scores on the Professional Quality of Life (Stamm, 2009) assessment, and the Spiritual Competency Scale (Robertson, 2011). Results were analyzed using a Pearson correlation. There was a relationship between importance of spirituality and burnout, with supervisors who rate the importance as low scoring higher on the burnout scale of the ProQOL assessment. Spiritual Comptency Scale scores were positively correlated to all four factors of spiritual and religious importance and frequency. Additionally, only 33% of clinical supervisors met the cutoff score for spiritual competence. This research provides a foundation for future research in the areas of spirituality and religion as a wellness strategy for supervisors and highlights the training gaps in spirituality and supervision that exist. Supervisors who engage in their own spiritual and religious practices and see these as important are more likely to be spiritually competent. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.
