Background:

  • Women possess inherent healing potential, increasingly recognized through their life cycles.
  • Sharing self-reflective insights is crucial for harnessing collective wisdom.
  • Documenting nurses' experiences offers valuable knowledge for other women.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a three-stage reflective-thinking model: awareness, critical analysis, and new perspective.
  • To discuss the model's application to women's inner knowledge and wisdom in personal and professional contexts.

Main Methods:

  • Purposive sampling selected eight registered nurses for in-depth, personal, semi-structured interviews.
  • Qualitative analysis explored participants' self-reflective processes and healing experiences.

Main Results:

  • Three themes emerged, highlighting women's self-healing capabilities: Spirituality, Being Versus Doing, and Eustress Versus Distress.
  • These themes demonstrate the interconnectedness of personal and professional life stimuli in the healing process.

Conclusions:

  • Self-reflection, triggered by personal and professional factors, is essential for initiating healing and change.
  • Recommendations are provided for nurse educators and researchers to integrate self-reflection and healing models.
