Reflective practice in nursing identified learning needs for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but also revealed professional apathy. Integrating change management into reflection may improve practice implementation.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Clinical Practice
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Reflective practice is utilized in nursing to identify learning needs.
  • An exploratory study in the 1990s examined reflective practice in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
  • Professional apathy was an unexpected outcome, hindering the implementation of identified learning needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the effectiveness of reflective practice in identifying nursing learning needs.
  • To investigate the causes and implications of professional apathy following reflective practice.
  • To propose integrating change management into the reflective cycle for improved practice.

Main Methods:

  • An exploratory study using reflective practice principles.

  • Facilitated reflective sessions with nursing practitioners.
  • Qualitative analysis of identified learning needs and subsequent actions (or lack thereof).

    • Main Results:

    • Reflective practice successfully identified learning needs in CPR procedures.
    • A significant outcome was professional apathy, where identified issues were not prioritized or acted upon.
    • The facilitation of reflection may have contributed to the observed apathy.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective reflective practice in nursing requires more than just identifying learning needs.
    • Integrating planning and management of change into the reflective cycle is crucial for practice improvement.
    • Nurse education and clinical settings must address professional apathy to enhance the impact of reflective practice.
