Reflective Reflection

1564 Words7 Pages

The basis of this reflective report is to critically emphasize the Leicester Clinical Assessment Tool (LCAT) undergone whilst on placement in an orthopaedic ward. The reflection shows the engagement of safe, confident, competent, compassionate quality care whilst recognising the individual. To link theory to practice, the Driscoll’s (2007) model of reflection will be used. This model incorporates three stages, what? So what? and Now what?. This model has been chosen due to the clear structure and guide incorporated, which is a preferred reflective style. The Driscoll’s (2007) model includes trigger questions that allow the process of critical reflective thoughts, in an easy precise format.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, 2015) regulates all nurses and midwives practicing in the United Kingdom. In this guidance all nurses and midwives are required to use feedback as a chance for reflecting and learning, to improve practice. According to Wrigglesworth (2016) reflections require critical thinking, to analyse the incident and explore associated research as well as up to date evidence. Reflections are also vital in developing an understanding of nursing skills (Nunn, 2012). This was discovered in the past, upon reflection of past learning which allowed a full understanding of the concepts of what was gained from the skills carried out.

    One of the most prevalent ethical issue associated with reflective practice is that of confidentiality, although no names are revealed when reflection takes place, it can be questioned as to whether the interactions we have with patients should be used to help further our professional development (Hargreaves J. 1997). Reflection and reflective practice also have professional implications as it increases the student’s vulnerability as they are recounting events which could have caused them distress in the past as reflection itself is a process which requires the individual to reveal the minute details of how an event made them feel, therefore it is vital that people who are undergoing this process have the support that they require (Cleary M. et. al. 2013). Knight K. et. al (2010) argue that not only do students need this supervision, reflective practice groups should be favoured as they give the students more support, not only from their supervisor but also their peers who could be going through the same

    The Process of Reflection The process of reflection is central to clinical supervision. Launer (2003) describes external and internal factors in supervision whereby clinical practice and sharing skills are external and reflection is an ‘internal conversation.’ Brunero & Stein-Parbury (2008) discussed the effects of clinical supervision in nursing staff and argued that self-reflection generates a sense of self-awareness and knowledge to the individual. Supervisees or students may be asked what happened during a clinical event, how they felt, the implications of their actions and what they would do differently if faced with the same situation.
