Study Notes

Learning Objectives

  • Define Reflective Practice
  • Describe Reflective Practice Theory and Gibb's Reflective Cycle
  • Understand the role of Reflection in Continuous Professional Development
  • Discuss the application of Reflection to learning from Clinical Scenarios

Reflective Practice

  • A cognitive process that helps gain insights, rethink practice, learn from experiences, and cope with similar situations in the future.
  • Rolfe, G., Freshwater, D., and Jasper, M. (2001).

"Don't just say you have read books..."

  • Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person.
  • Epictetus

Ars Longa, Vita Brevis

  • Life is short, and art is long...
  • the crisis fleeting; experience perilous, and decision difficult.
  • The physician must not only be prepared to do what is right himself, but also make the patients, the attendants, and externals cooperate.
  • Hippocrates of Kos

To Err is Human

  • In USA 98,000 people die in any given year from medical errors that occur in hospitals.
  • That's more than die from MVA, breast cancer, or AIDS.
  • Indeed, more people die annually from medication errors than from workplace injuries.
  • To err is human, to cover up is unforgivable, and to fail to learn is inexcusable.
  • Sir Liam Donaldson (2004)

Reflective Practice: IMC

  • Developing insight into professional practice is important to improve standards of care.
  • Reflective practice includes:
    • Formal Reviews through audit and outcome data.
    • Informal Reflection on how personal values may affect communication with patients, colleagues or others, and ultimately the care provided to patients.

Learning Culture & Safety: IMC

  • Medical treatment involves some degree of risk.
  • We should strive to minimise risk and learn from harm.
  • "You should promote a culture of patient safety"
  • Adverse events result in unintended outcomes for patients as a result of clinical interventions or omissions, or the systems or processes used in managing patient care.
  • "If you are involved in an adverse event, you should report it, learn from it and take part in any review of the incident".

Reflective Practice: AoMRC

  • The process whereby an individual thinks analytically about anything relating to their professional practice with the intention of gaining insight and using the lessons learned to maintain good practice or make improvements where possible
  • Situation may be observed, or directly involved, or part of formal learning.
  • Reflection happens with both positive and negative events, either to reinforce behaviour or to change it.

Reflective Practice: GMC, AoMRC & COPMED

  • Doctors must feel able to have honest and open discussions about clinical events and should be confident that engaging in reflection provides them:
    • Improved opportunities to learn
    • Evidence of a professional approach to self-development
    • Changes leading to improvement of patient care where appropriate
  • Reflection should not be a detailed description, nor an attribution of blame, but should focus on feedback and descriptions of the increased understanding gained which has led to an affirmation of, or change of, practice.

Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland Definition

  • Medical Professionalism: "Values, behaviours and attitudes that promote professional relationships, public trust and patient safety"

Continuous Improvement

  • Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) in Health Care is a structured organizational process that involves physicians and other personnel in planning and implementing ongoing proactive improvements in processes of care to provide quality health care outcomes.

Reflective Practice Theory

  • This is a theoretical concept within the broader topic of reflection.

What is Reflection

  • Reflection allows the reflector's learning and knowledge to benefit from conscious thought.
  • Two main conceptions:
    • Reflection on Experience - using experiences as a foundation for learning and updating personal understanding of existing theories
    • Reflection as Metacognition - particularly focusing on a problem, conception, or an idea.
  • Knowledge is a continual development and is shaped by its relationship with experience or conscious critical thought.

What is not Reflection

  • Writing a diary
  • Gazing at the clouds

Reflective Thought (Dewey)

  • He defines reflective thought as an active, persistent and careful consideration of any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the light of the grounds that support it and further conclusion to which it tends.
  • Thinking about a problematic situation that needs to be resolved
  • the function of reflective thought is, therefore, to transform a situation in which there is experienced obscurity, doubt, conflict, disturbance of some sort, into a situation that is clear, coherent, settled, harmonious
  • converts action that is merely appetitive, blind and impulsive into intelligent action.

Reflection: Active Learning and Consolidation

  • Piaget (1971) Constructivist Learning Theory Reflection
    • forces students to engage with content matter and contextualise it with their own experience.
  • Marton & Saljo (1976) “Deep Learning”
    • Students who engage more deeply with material will learn and retain principle ideas better.

Reflection: Definition

  • Cognition, can be defined as "the mental acquisition of knowledge through thought, experience, and the senses".
  • Reflection, is a cognitive process that helps us to gain insights into the "big picture" and rethink our practice, learn from their experiences and help us to cope with similar situations in the future.
  • Self-Reflective Practice is a "meta-cognitive" ability, meaning that it involves thinking about and reflecting on one's own mental processes.

Reflection: on Experience

  • In adult education the benefit of learning from experience, rather than passively through knowledge transfer, is established.
  • Donald Schön (1983) highlighting the importance of experience as a tool for updating professional theories and through reflection using them to improve practice.
  • Kolb (1984) formalised the modern conception of experiential learning:
    • Allowing the student to reflect on their experience is essential for the student to extract meaningful elements and incorporate them into a personal knowledgebase.

Reflection: Metacognition

  • Metacognition: awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes
  • Jack Mezirow (1991) Transformational Learning Theory
    • suggests that reflection is useful to understand the content and premise of the problem as well as the problem-solving process itself.
  • This is obtained by stepping back and looking at one's thinking process - reflection therefore becomes "thinking about thinking" and how to do so effectively.
  • Loughran (1996) highlights problem solving by reflection and learning from experience

Reflection: Critical Thought (Moon)

  • Moon (2004) highlights six different areas where reflection can be helpful:
    • Critically reviewing our own behaviour, the behaviour of others, or the product of our behaviour.
    • Building general theories from observing, or being involved in practical situations.
    • Making decisions or resolving uncertainty.
    • Considering the process of our own learning, in other words engaging in 'thinking about thinking' or metacognition.
    • Engaging in personal or self-development.
    • Empowering or emancipating ourselves as individuals or within our social group.

Reflecting on Experience

  • Reflective Models can help with structure, guidance and questions.
  • Gibbs' “Reflective Cycle” (1988)
  • Driscoll's or Rolfe's Reflective Practice Model "What? So what? Now what?"
  • Kolb's learning Cycle (1984)
  • Schon's Reflective Practitioner (1991)
  • Bassot's “The Integrated Reflective Cycle"
  • Greenaway's “The Active Reviewing Cycle" of "four F's”

Reflection and Professional Development

  • Reflection leads to higher self-awareness and make one more likely to effectively plan their professional and personal development.
  • Cunningham & Moore (2017) particularly highlight how being taught reflection allows healthcare practitioners to effectively recognise development opportunities.
    • Identifying suboptimal practice, the individual is well placed to think about what good practice looks like, and reflect on what excelling looks like.

Employability

  • Employability “a set of achievements – skills, understandings and personal attributes - that makes graduates more likely to gain employment and be successful in their chosen occupations, which benefits themselves, the workforce, the community and the economy."
  • Reflect on what skills you have developed over the last week/month/year and how you will be able to evidence these skills with examples.
  • Reflect to identify the skills that are required in the sector you want to end up in and start developing these by setting goals and objectives
  • Reflect on how you deal with challenges and how you can improve your approach and resilience.
  • Reflect on the range of experiences you have and find ways to expand this range.
  • Ensure you don't neglect life-long learning.

Learning Health System: Learning Cycle

  • Learning health systems (LHS) are healthcare systems in which knowledge generation processes are embedded in daily practice to produce continual improvement in care.
  • LHS can be described as having four key elements:
    • Organizational architecture that supports the formation of communities of patients, healthcare professionals and researchers who collaborate to produce and use "big data".
    • Large electronic health data sets, i.e. "big data".
    • Quality improvement at the point of care for each patient using new knowledge generated by research.
    • Research done in routine healthcare settings.

Quality Improvement and PDSA Cycle

  • The Deming Wheel, or Deming Cycle, also know as PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) Cycle was first introduced to Dr Deming by his mentor Walter Shewhart.
  • It has evolved to become The PDSA Cycle (Plan-Do-Study-Act), a systematic process for gaining valuable learning and knowledge for continual improvement of a product, process, or service.

Reflections as Evidence: GMC

  • Williams Review of Gross Negligence Manslaughter in Healthcare (2018)
  • Professor Sir Norman Williams Review in the wake of the Dr Bawa Garba controversy considered wider concerns among healthcare professionals.
  • Errors could result in prosecution for gross negligence manslaughter, even if they happen in the context of broader organisation and system failings.
  • It's recommendations support a more just and learning culture in the healthcare system. It covers:
    • the process for investigating gross negligence manslaughter
    • reflective practice of healthcare professionals
    • the regulation of healthcare professionals

Reflective Practice Models (Gibbs')

  • This is a sub-topic under reflecting on experience
  • Reflective Models and models involved in the topic of Reflection

Kolb's Learning Cycle

  • Promotes “learner centred pedagogy” and acknowledges that people learn in different ways
  • It has been adapted to four Stages of Reflection:
    • Concrete Experience, actually having an experience
    • Reflective Observation, reflecting on the experience
    • Abstract Conceptualisation, learning from the experience
    • Active Experimentation, trying out what you have learnt
  • Each stage has helpful questions (prompts)

Gibbs' Reflective Cycle

  • Graham Gibbs (1988) gives structure to learn from (repeated) experiences
  • It covers six stages:
    • Description of the experience
    • Feelings and thoughts about the experience
    • Evaluation of the experience, both good and bad
    • Analysis to make sense of the situation
    • Conclusion about what you learned and what you could have done differently
    • Action plan for how you would deal with similar situations in the future, or general changes you might find appropriate

Schon's Reflective Practitioner

  • Effective professional practice and human thought
    • Knowing in action
    • Reflection-in-action
    • Reflection-on-action

What? So what? Now what?

  • Driscoll (1994), proposed one of the simplest reflection frameworks.
    • Also known as Rolfe's Reflective Practice Model (2001).
  • It is based on three simple questions:
    • What? The experience of the situation
    • So what? The implications of the situation
    • Now what? The action plan

The four F's of active reviewing

  • Facts: An objective account of what happened
  • Feelings: The emotional reactions to the situation
  • Findings: The concrete learning that you can take away from the situation
  • Future: Structuring your learning such that you can use it in the future

Schwartz Rounds

  • The Point of Care Foundation describe Schwartz rounds as: A structured forum where all staff, clinical and non-clinical, come together regularly to discuss the emotional and social aspects of working in healthcare.
  • The purpose of Rounds is to encourage compassion in healthcare to understand the challenges and rewards that are intrinsic to providing care.

Reflective Practice

  • Building a reflective practice mindset typically involves:
    • An ability and willingness to reflect and learn
    • Repeating reflection over a series of related experiences adds value
    • Reviewing and reflecting on an extended period to identify patterns
    • Setting and reflecting on goals and objectives

Reflective Assignments

  • Wald (2012) The RESPECT Rubric for assessing reflective writing
  • Academic Reflections have a specific language and structure
  • General language points are:
    • Be succinct; stick to word-count
    • Use “I” and other personal nouns
    • Almost always use the past tense
    • Use subject-specific language and terminology (medical professionalism)
    • Description, Thoughts and Feelings, Analysis/Interpret/Evaluating, Concluding and Planning
