Reflection in nursing can be structured or unstructured. Here are some common methods:
Journaling: Writing about daily experiences, challenges, and feelings can help nurses process and analyze their work. Peer Discussions: Talking with colleagues about specific cases or general experiences can provide new perspectives and insights. Mentorship: Working with a mentor allows nurses to receive feedback and guidance on their reflective practice. Formal Models: Using structured models like Gibbs' Reflective Cycle or Schön's Reflective Practice can provide a systematic approach to reflection.
