    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically analyze reflective practice within a senior nurse's professional context in an Accident and Emergency (A&E) setting.
    • To examine how reflection in practice can help close the theory-practice gap in nursing.
    • To explore reflection as a learning process for enhancing clinical knowledge and skills.

    Main Methods:

    • Critical analysis of reflective practice in nursing.
    • Literature review on reflective practice and the theory-practice gap in nursing.
    • Examination of reflection-in-action as described by Schon (1987).

    Main Results:

    • Reflection is a frequently used but infrequently defined concept in nursing.
    • Reflection serves as a learning process to expand clinical knowledge and skills, benefiting client care.
    • Reflection-in-action allows nurses to think about and adjust actions during patient care.

    Conclusions:

    • Reflective practice is crucial for bridging the theory-practice gap in nursing.
    • Nurse education is increasingly incorporating reflection to enhance student nurses' practical abilities.
    • Developing reflective practitioners leads to new understanding and improved future practice.
