Penelitian kuasi eksperimen dengan pre post test design with control group ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pelatihan supervisi terhadap pemahaman kepala ruangan dan wakil kepala ruangan tentang supervisi di RSUD Tugurejo Semarang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terjadi peningkatan bermakna (p=0.001) pada pemahaman kepala ruangan dan wakil kepala ruangan setelah mendapat pelatihan supervisi pada kelompok intervensi (N=30) dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (N=30). Karakteristik individu yang meliputi jenis kelamin, umur, lama kerja, dan tingkat pendidikan tidak bermakna secara signifikan terhadap pemahaman kepala ruangan dan wakil kepala ruangan tentang supervisi. RSUD Tugurejo Semarang dapat mengupayakan dan meningkatkan pemahaman kepala ruangan dan wakil kepala ruangan tentang supervisi dengan melakukan pelatihan supervisi secara berkelanjutan.

The method used in the research was quasi experiment with pre posttest design with control group. From the research it was found out that there was meaningful improvement (p value 0.001) towards the understanding of the Head and Vice of the ward about supervision (N=30) after they had supervision training compared to control group (N=30). The individual characteristics of sex, age, working period and level of education did not give significant influence to the understanding of the Head and Vice of the ward about supervision.
