Gibbs Reflective Cycle In Nursing

Reflecting on the situation that had taken place during my second placement working in the community. This will give me the perfect opportunity to develop and utilise my commutation skills in order to maintain the relationships with my patient.

Baird and Winter (2005,) give some reasons why reflection is require in the reflective practice. They state that a reflect is to generate the practice knowledge, assist an ability to adapt new situations, develop self-esteem and satisfaction as well as to value, develop and professionalizing practice. However, Siviter (2004)

The nursing practise has continually evolved and can be described as autonomous due to the significant involvement of nurses in patient care. This then necessitates critical reflection as a way to continually develop and improve the nursing practise.

For example, developing action plans, evaluating patient outcomes, and thinking critically. This essay will describe an event involving nurses and explain the feelings it evoked.

The aim of this essay is to demonstrate the assessment process of a patient using the Roper Logan and Tierney (RLT) model of nursing framework and to show how the nursing process works alongside this model. This will be shown by a holistic history of the patient being shown, followed by how the RLT model is applicable to this patient. This is then followed by one nursing intervention being discussed showing how the nursing process is applied to patient care.

Gibb’s model can be seen as a popular reflective model for student nurses because of its simplicity and malleability. It also allows professionals to easily identify learning points from either a positive or negative experience. The lack of complexity allows for better engagement with the process (Wilding, 2008). Although, portrayed as the ideal reflective model Gibb’s can be seen as time consuming and interminable with it six stages. I have chosen Gibbs reflective cycle due to it abilities to make me think about all of the phases of the experience and promote more critical thinking and understanding of the situation.

Gibbs (1988) reflective cycle can be seen as cyclical in nature which incorporates six stages to enable me to continuously improve my learning from the event for better practice in the future(Heitkemper, 2010).

The final stage in the Gibbs cycle is what I have learned from this incident and the action plans (Gibbs, 1988). From this group work, I have identified my skills and I know that, how it helped me to take part in the team work.

The purpose of this essay is to reflect on the importance of demonstrating nursing care with patients requiring standard and contact precautions using a model of reflection. Reflection is the process in which learners engage to recapture, notice and re-evaluate their experience, to work with their experience and to turn it into learning (Boud et al, 1993).
