Study Notes
Reflective Practitioner BMF MED1
- Presented by Prof. Denis Harkin (MB, MD, FRCSI), Consultant Vascular Surgeon, Chair of Medical Professionalism, RCSI, and Dr Sally Doherty (Dept Psychology, Academic lead in Bahrain, for Professionalism, RCSI)
- Learning objectives include defining reflective practice, describing reflective practice theory (including Gibbs' Reflective Cycle), understanding the role of reflection in continuous professional development, and discussing reflection's application to learning from clinical scenarios.
Reflective Practice
- A cognitive process to gain insights, rethink practice, learn from experiences, and cope with similar situations in the future.
- This helps create better understanding of situations, leading to improvements.
To Err Is Human
- In the USA, 98,000 people die annually from medical errors in hospitals.
- Medication errors are more frequent than workplace injuries.
- The issue isn't bad people in healthcare, but rather flawed systems.
- Individual professional behavior sometimes leads to patient harm.
Reflective Practice: IMC
- The behaviors and processes that form the foundation for good care standards.
- Developing insight into professional practice is crucial for improving care.
- Formal reviews (e.g., audit, outcome data) and informal reflection (on personal values impacting communication with patients, colleagues, and others) are aspects of reflective practice.
Learning Culture & Safety: IMC
- Medical treatment involves some risk.
- Minimizing risk and learning from harm are essential for patient safety culture.
- Reporting adverse events, learning from them, and participating in reviews is vital.
Reflective Practice: AoMRC
- Reflection is the analytic process of considering professional practice to gain insight and improve practice.
- Reflection involves observed, directly involved, or formally learned situations.
- It can relate to both positive and negative events for behavior reinforcement or change.
Reflective Practice: GMC, AoMRC & COPMED
- Doctors need open and honest discussion about clinical events and confidence in reflection's value.
- Reflection improves learning opportunities, self-development, and patient care (where needed).
- Reflection should focus on gaining understanding, not blame.
Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland Definition
- Medical professionalism is defined as values, behaviours, and attitudes that promote professional relationships, public trust, and patient safety.
Continuous Improvement
- Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is a structured process involving healthcare professionals in planning and implementing improvements in care processes to ensure quality health care outcomes.
Reflective Practice Theory
- This section details different theories of reflective practice, covering various aspects like different cognitive processes, learning styles, and the critical role of reflection.
What is Reflection
- Reflection allows learning and knowledge to benefit from conscious thought.
- Reflection on experience uses experiences to update understanding of existing theories.
- Reflection as metacognition focuses on problems, concepts, or ideas.
Reflective Thought (Dewey)
- Reflective thought is described as active, persistent, and careful consideration of any belief or kind of knowledge, examining its support and conclusions.
- It transforms obscurity into clarity and harmony, converting appetitive and impulsive actions to intelligent ones.
Reflection: Active Learning and Consolidation
- Piaget's and Marton & Saljo's theories underpin the importance of reflection in active learning and knowledge retention, contextualising learning with personal experiences.
Reflection: Metacognition
- Metacognition is awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes.
- Reflection is useful for understanding the content and premise of a problem and the problem-solving process itself ("thinking about thinking").
Reflection: Critical Thought (Moon)
- Reflection has six helpful areas: reviewing own/others' behavior/work, building theories from observing practice, resolving uncertainty, reflecting on learning and metacognition, empowering self-development, and empowering individuals within a social group.
Reflecting on Experience
- Models like Gibbs' "Reflective Cycle," Driscoll's/Rolfe's model ("What? So what? Now what?"), Kolb's learning cycle, Schon's reflective practitioner, and Bassot and Greenaway's models offer structures for reflection.
Reflection and Professional Development
- Reflection improves self-awareness and decision-making in professional and personal development.
- Structured reflection on clinical practice can help identify areas for improvement and implement positive changes within professional practice.
The Task of Medical Education
- The goal of medical education is to transform medical novices into effective practitioners by providing them with the best knowledge, skills, and a strong professional identity.
Principles of Adult Learning
- Andragogy is the art and science of helping adults learn, emphasizing independent learners with diverse motivations, expectations, and learning styles.
Life Long Learning
- Life-long learning is any learning activity aimed at improving knowledge, skills, and competencies in personal, civic, social, and employment contexts.
Clinical Learning Environment: Definition
- Clinical learning environments (CLEs) are defined by the Macy Foundation (2018) as social interactions, organizational structures, and physical/virtual spaces that shape learning experiences.
- For healthcare professionals, clinical context is foundational, and efficient, supportive CLEs are essential for high-quality patient care, workforce well-being, and trainee development.
Reflection for Self-awareness
- Self-reflection enhances self-awareness of strengths and weaknesses, leading to improved effectiveness.
- Targeted questions (direct, indirect) and feedback (critical friend, mentor, multi-source feedback) are tools for self-reflection.
Reflection: on Feedback
- Reflection is a pathway for understanding and using feedback, especially concerning self-belief mismatches.
Reflection: Professional Development
- Reflection leads to increased self-awareness, enabling better planning of professional and personal development.
- Cunningham and Moore's work highlights how reflection allows for the identification of areas for improvement in healthcare practice, and how reflecting on these areas helps professionals improve.
Employability
- Employability is a set of achievements, skills, and attributes that make graduates more likely to gain employment and succeed in their chosen fields, benefiting themselves, the workforce, the community, and the economy.
Learning Health System: Learning Cycle
- Learning Health Systems (LHS) embed knowledge generation within daily healthcare practice, fostering continuous improvement in care for all.
- The LHS framework relies on organizational architecture that supports patient, healthcare professional, and researcher engagement within large electronic health systems, quality improvement at the point of care from generated research data, and research-centric healthcare settings.
Quality Improvement and PDCA Cycle
- The Deming/PDSA cycle (Plan-Do-Study-Act) is a systematic process for improving products, processes, and services
- It was introduced by Walter Shewhart, and refined by Deming, used to achieve valuable learning and knowledge for ongoing improvement.
Reflections as Evidence: GMC
- Gross negligence manslaughter in healthcare contexts should be explored and understood by medical practitioners.
Reflective Practice Models (Gibbs')
- Different models, including Gibbs' reflective cycle, support structured reflection and improve practice.
Kolb's Learning Cycle
- Kolb's model (1984) is a learner-centered cycle that has four stages: Concrete Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization, and Active Experimentation.
- Â This framework is easily adapted for healthcare professionals.
Gibbs' Reflective Cycle
- Developed by Graham Gibbs (1988), this cycle (with its six stages) offers a structured way to learn from experiences: Description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, and action plan.
- Â Each stage has helpful questions. Using these questions alongside a structured framework can improve one's understanding from the experiences gained.
Schon's Reflective Practitioner
- Schon (1991) describes effective practice as an interplay of knowing-in-action and reflection-in-action occurring simultaneously.
- Â This iterative cycle allows professionals to adjust their practice in response to immediate situations while also considering the knowledge and reflection accumulated after the fact.
What? So What? Now What?
- Based on simple questions, this framework guides reflection and learning from experience.
- The framework has three simple questions What? So what? Now what?
Conclusions
- This presentation concluded with the benefits of reflection and Learning Health Systems.
