    In this reflection, I have utilized Gibbs (1988) Reflective cycle. This cyclical model is a recognized framework to assist with a critical reflection on practice. I chose to use this cycle because it will improve my nursing practice continuously, and learning from the experience for better and improved practice. Gibbs (1988) reflective model consists of six stages. Boyd and Fales (1983) offer a useful definition of reflection, suggesting that it is “the process of internally examining and exploring an issue of concern, triggered by an experience, which creates and clarifies meaning in terms of self, and which results in a changed conceptual perspective.” According to Siviter, 2004, p165) explains that reflection is about gaining self-confidence, identifying when to improve, learning from own mistakes and behaviours, looking at other people’s perspective, being self aware and improving the future by from the past. However, having knowledge about reflection does not necessarily mean that nurses are able to use reflection in a meaningful way during practice. Self reflection helps nurses to learn about the actual practice of nursing and helps them to evaluate their own practice and performance. Reflection may also be prompted by more positive states, for…

    Boyd et al (1985) suggest reflection to be an: ‘...important human activity whereby people recapture their experiences, consider them and evaluate them '. Reflection has been strongly advocated by the UKCC (1996) and a wealth of nursing literature during the last decade, with the aim of improving practice via a structured means of identifying, reviewing and making sense of relevant practice knowledge (Conway 1994, Jarvis 1992, Palmer et al 1994).…

    I will discuss a clinical skill that I have been practicing by using a reflective model. Reflection is defined as being ‘an active process of witnessing one’s own experience in order to take a closer look and explore it in depth’ (Johns, C. 2005). The Nursing and Midwifery Council believe that all students should undertake the art of reflection as part of their training, in order to become a competent nurse, (NMC, 2010).…

    THERAPEUTIC RELATIONSHIP

    • 12 Pages

    In this essay, I am going to give a structured reflective account on the development of a therapeutic relationship with a client on one of my clinical placements as part of my training as a student nurse. I will be using a reflective model which explores the processes involved in developing and maintaining such relationships bearing in mind theoretical knowledge and how it applies to this clinical experience. Jasper (2003) describes reflective practice as one of the ways that professionals learn from experience in order to understand and develop their practice. As a trainee health care professional, I have learnt the importance of reflection in practice as a platform for judging one’s progress, strengths and weaknesses and also as a tool for appraising what went well during an intervention and what needs to be improved upon. Reflective practice is an important factor for nurses when building a therapeutic relationship with clients. Though this is essential in all nursing practices, it cannot be over emphasised in Mental Health nursing as this is based on quite a lot of understanding and trust between nurses and client. It is also now a respected and required learning and assessment method in many nursing programmes worldwide. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, 2008) requires nurses to keep knowledge and skills up to date throughout their working life. Considering the importance of clinical competence in the nursing profession, then it will suffice to say that reflection is an important tool in the nurse’s range of skills which aids the achievement and maintenance of clinical competence and performance (Mattews, 2004).…
