Just 'doing the observations': reflective practice in nursing
1Iorwerth Ward, Bronglais Hospital, Aberystwyth, Wales.
Abstract:
The first part of this article explores the development, definition, and design of reflective practice. In the second part the author relates an 'ordinary nursing' story--'10 minutes with Mr Kandinski'--and uses an existentialist framework for reflective analysis. Reflection on personal experience can expose something of the interrelationship of theory and practice, perhaps helping practitioners to improve their work. More importantly, reflective practice provides a means for nurses to reveal a more complete picture of the reality of nursing work to others.
