Introspection01:29

Introspection

Introspection, long upheld as a reliable route to self-knowledge, involves examining one's thoughts, emotions, and mental processes. It underpins many psychological practices, from mindfulness meditation to psychotherapy and self-help strategies. However, empirical evidence challenges the accuracy of introspection as a means of understanding oneself.Limitations of Introspective InsightSeminal work by Nisbett and Wilson demonstrated that individuals are frequently unaware of the true causes...

Methods of Documentation V: CBE

Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Professional Education
  • Philosophy of Practice

Background:

  • Discourse analysis is crucial for understanding professional beliefs and attitudes.
  • Reflective practice and evidence-based practice are often presented as opposing discourses.
  • Each discourse is underpinned by a specific epistemology, a construct of language that shapes reality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the discourses of reflective practice and evidence-based practice.
  • To examine the role of epistemology in shaping these professional discourses.
  • To challenge the notion that reflective practice and evidence-based practice are mutually exclusive.

Main Methods:

  • Discourse analysis of reflective practice and evidence-based practice.
  • Epistemological examination of the underlying assumptions within each discourse.
  • Deconstruction of the 'language play' and binary opposition presented in the literature.

Main Results:

  • The epistemologies underpinning reflective practice and evidence-based practice are language constructs, open to restructuring.
  • The binary opposition between reflective practice and evidence-based practice is an engineered construct.
  • Reflective practice and evidence-based practice discourses are not mutually exclusive.

Conclusions:

  • Reflective practice and evidence-based practice are complementary and supplementary discourses.
  • Practitioners can integrate both reflective practice and evidence-based practice through critical reflexivity.
  • Re-describing these practices as complementary enhances their utility for healthcare professionals.
