Several reflective models can guide nurses through the process. Some of the most commonly used models include:
Gibbs' Reflective Cycle: This model involves six stages: Description, Feelings, Evaluation, Analysis, Conclusion, and Action Plan. Johns' Model for Structured Reflection: Focuses on five key questions to guide the reflection process. Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle: Consists of four stages: Concrete Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization, and Active Experimentation.
