Use of Reflective Practice in Nursing

In this article, I will summarize my understanding of reflective practices and explore. Reflective practice is a process of learning to gain new insight into self and practice (Boud et al. 1985; Boyd and Fales, 1983; Mezirow, 1981, Jarvis, 1992). This usually involves examining the preconditions of daily life. It also requires individual practitioners to recognize themselves and critically assess their response to practice. Focus is to critically think about them to regain practical experience, gain new understanding and improve future practice.

We conducted literature review using Medline, CINAHL, EBSCO Host and Google Scholar. Search terms include: Reflective exercises, Reflective practice exercises, Reflective care, Reflective practical nursing students, and Reflections to practical students. Other articles are in the reference list of the articles obtained from the database search. Search is limited to articles published in English. The literature search time standard was between 2001 and 2012. Inclusion criteria include research papers

For practice, student nurses use reflection gymnastics. In this article, we will describe in detail the result of using reflective practice in nursing. Exclusion criteria include non-English articles and articles not related to search topics. A total of 16 papers are included, of which 15 are qualitative, 1 is quantitative and is included in comments. A summary of all review articles is shown in Table 1. Chong (2009) conducted a quantitative study of nursing students awarded 98 diplomas and examined the student 's perception of reflective practice and whether it is a useful task or not. Give students a structured questionnaire and ask them to use a five level Likert scale to evaluate emotions about reflexive exercises. According to Chong (2009), students believe that reflexive practice plays an important role in applying theory to nursing practice.

Practicum nurses encounter obstacles and student nurses also participate in contemplation. Mantzoukas and Jasper (2004) conducted an interpretive research for 16 British nurses and investigated how nurses looked at reflections in their daily wards. Nurses believe that contemplation is a way of improving expertise, but nurses are limited in value because their ability to begin changing is limited. One of the main obstacles identified was power relations between nurses and physicians. The researchers discovered that nurses felt that they were devalued and devalued for those with more power. This is considered a major obstacle, as it prevents nurses from discussing their thoughts and thoughts and hinders the dissemination of important knowledge (Mantzoukas and Jasper, 2004). Recognizing that barriers to contemplated practices help to make positive changes and necessary changes for success
