Several reflective models are commonly used in nursing, including:
1. Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle: This model involves describing the experience, exploring feelings, evaluating the experience, analyzing, concluding, and creating an action plan. 2. Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle: This consists of four stages: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. 3. Johns’ Model for Structured Reflection: This model uses a series of questions to guide the reflection process, focusing on the context, actions, and outcomes.
