Main Results:

  • Significant divergence exists between student and lecturer perceptions of teaching strategies for reflective skills.
  • Students most frequently cited lectures and group work, while lecturers highlighted personal tutorials, group work, and case scenarios.
  • Documentary analysis revealed explicit mentions of reflective practice in only 3 out of 13 modules, with limited clarity among lecturers on curriculum integration.

Conclusions:

  • Modularization may lead to a fragmented approach in developing essential healthcare practitioner skills.
  • There is a need for consensus on core reflective skills and a clear strategy for their development and assessment within nursing curricula.
