    Study Notes

    Introduction to Reflective Practice

    • Reflective practice is a cognitive process enabling insight, practice re-evaluation, and future situation coping.
    • It leverages experience for similar future situations.

    Learning Objectives

    • Define reflective practice
    • Understand reflective practice theory and Gibb's reflective cycle
    • Explain reflection's role in continuous professional development
    • Apply reflection to learning from clinical scenarios

    Reflective Practice

    • A cognitive process used to gain insights into practice.
    • Involves rethinking practice, learning from experiences, and dealing with similar future situations.

    Quote by Epictetus

    • "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."

    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 the USA, 98,000 people die annually from medical errors in hospitals— exceeding deaths from motor vehicle accidents (MVA), breast cancer, and AIDS.
    • Medication errors are more frequent than workplace injuries.
    • The problem isn't bad people; it stems from flawed systems that need improvement.
    • Individual poor behaviour can negatively affect patients

    Reflective Practice: IMC

    • Core behaviors and processes forming the foundation for high-quality care.
    • Developing professional insight improves care standards.
    • Includes both formal reviews (e.g., audit) and informal reflection on personal values affecting patient communication and care.

    Learning Culture & Safety: IMC

    • Medical treatment necessarily involves risk.
    • Promotes a culture minimizing risk.
    • Learning from adverse events is crucial.
    • Reporting, learning from, and reviewing adverse events is vital for improvement.

    Reflective Practice: AoMRC

    • Reflective practice involves analytically thinking about professional practice with a goal of improving practice.
    • Reflection can be part of formal learning or involve active or passive observation of a situation.
    • Reflection can be positive (reinforcing good practice) or about negative situations, leading to behavioral change.

    Reflective Practice: GMC, AoMRC & COPMED

    • Doctors need honest and open discussions on clinical events; engaging in reflection is crucial.
    • Reflection enables professional learning, self-development, and improvement of patient care.
    • Reflection should focus on understanding gained, not on blame, but on affirmation or change of practice.

    Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland Definition

    • Medical professionalism involves values, behaviors, attitudes, promoting relationships, trust, safety.
    • Specific sub-headings like Cultural Sensitivity, Self-Care, Compassion, etc. are discussed further on subsequent slides.

    Continuous Improvement

    • Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is a structured process, involving employees in planning and conducting ongoing improvements to provide quality healthcare.

    Reflective Practice Theory

    • The theoretical framework explaining how reflection operates to improve practice is discussed here.

    What is Reflection?

    • Reflection uses conscious thought to enhance learning and understanding.
    • Two main perspectives emerge: reflection on experience and metacognition about a problem or concept.

    What is not Reflection?

    • Simple writing in a diary or day-dreaming does not count as reflection.

    Reflection Thought (Dewey)

    • Reflective thought involves careful contemplation of beliefs, exploring supporting evidence, and evaluating conclusions.
    • Thought converts mere impulses and desires into intelligent action to effectively resolve problems.

    Reflection: Active Learning and Consolidation

    • Constructivist learning theory emphasizes contextualization with experience for better retention and engagement in the material.
    • Deep learning, focusing on core concepts and principles, improves understanding and retention compared to surface learning.

    Reflection: Definition

    • Cognition refers to mental knowledge acquisition via thought, experience, and senses.
    • Reflection is a cognitive process for insightful practice rethinking leveraging experience, and future similar situation coping.
    • Self-reflective practice represents meta-cognitive skill; it involves reflecting on the own mental processes.

    Reflection: on Experience

    • Learning through experience is essential in adult education—Donald Schon(1983).
    • Kolb (1984) emphasized reflective practice—meaningful element extraction and incorporation into personal knowledge base is necessary for deep learning.

    Reflection: Metacognition

    • Metacognition involves self-awareness and understanding one's thought processes.
    • Jack Mezirow (1991) indicates that reflection is essential for grasping the content, premise, and process of problems and problem-solving.
    • Problem-solving through reflection entails untangling problems and developing solution ways.

    Reflection: Critical Thought (Moon)

    • Reflection has six key domains: reviewing behaviour; building theories from observation; resolving uncertainty; considering the learning process; engaging in personal development; and empowering oneself socially.

    Reflecting on Experience (Models)

    • Various reflection frameworks, such as Gibbs' Reflective Cycle and Kolb's Learning Cycle, are discussed—allowing structure in reflective practice for guidance and posing questions.
    • Other models, including Driscoll's/Rolfe's, Schon's, and Greenaway's, are presented for practical application.

    Reflection and Professional Development

    • Reflection enhances self-awareness, facilitating better professional and personal development planning.
    • Cunningham and Moore (2017) highlight how being taught reflection helps healthcare professionals identify and improve their practice.

    Employability and Reflection

    • Employability requires a blend of achievements and attributes.
    • Employable graduates must reflect on developed skills over time; analyze how these skills can be demonstrated in the context of professional roles.
    • Reflect on the required skills, developing goals and objectives for self-improvement, and build on prior experiences.

    Learning Health System: Learning Cycle

    • Learning Health Systems (LHS) are healthcare systems where knowledge generation and improvement are embedded in daily practice.
    • Based on evidence-based medicine, and developed by the US Institute of Medicine (2006).

    Quality Improvement and PDSCA

    • Quality improvement is a systematic process (e.g., the Deming Cycle).
    • Continual improvement of services, processes, or products using a four-step cycle where planning, doing, observing, and acting are key.

    Reflections as Evidence: GMC

    • The Williams Review (2018) highlights concerns about simple errors leading to gross negligence manslaughter charges.
    • Reflection is useful to understand these issues and learn about organizational and system issues alongside individual practice.
    • Sir Terence Stephenson advised that reflection for doctors is fundamental to professionalism, needing safeguarding and legal protection measures to support reflection.

    Kolb's Learning Cycle

    • Kolb's learning cycle encompasses concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation, adaptable to reflective practice. Each stage provides helpful questions.

    Gibbs' Reflective Cycle

    • Gibbs’ reflective cycle, with six stages, offers a structured framework for learning from experience: description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, action plan; to examine repeated experiences for their positive outcomes.

    Schön's Reflective Practitioner

    • Schon (1991) presents the reflective practitioner model.
    • The model encourages reflective practitioners to reflect on their activities when they are in the workplace, which will aid in improving practice and thought.

    What? So What? Now What?

    • The three stages (or questions) encourage the learner to introspect.
    • The questions reflect upon the situation's experience (What), the implications from the experience (So What), and the consequent action plan (Now What).

    Clinical Learning Environment

    • The Macy Foundation (2018) defines this environment in terms of social interaction, organizational structure, and physical space to address learners' experiences.
    • Learners are important in healthcare systems because they drive service quality and safety.

    Reflection for Self-Awareness

    • Self-awareness of professional strengths and weaknesses is helpful for professional development and work performance improvement.
    • Questioning oneself about strengths and weaknesses helps gain insights into both effective and ineffective aspects and areas requiring further development.
    • Engaging with others (e.g., a critical friend, mentor) for insights and feedback is also useful.

    Reflection on Feedback

    • Sargeant et al.(2009) found that reflection is important in using feedback constructively and effectively to evaluate or reassess practice.
    • Feedback that challenges one's self-belief can be effectively analyzed, addressed, and converted into personal knowledge/action-taking.

    Reflection: Professional Development

    • Reflection promotes higher self-awareness and helps plan professional and personal development.
    • Cunningham and Moore (2017) highlight how reflection enables identification of development opportunities to effectively improve practice.

    Principles of Adult Learning
