Reflective journals in nursing

Used to incorporate clinical learning with theoretical knowledge(Evidence-based)

Can enhance practice by generating knowledge that is context based in clinical situations

Enhances knowledge transfer from one clinical situation to another

Enhances metacognition about clinical nursing experiences

Page 14: Weblogs → blogs  Online journals –  Communication tools +  Marketing power advertising publicity.

Tanner (2006) Clinical Judgement Model

Context, background and relationship leads to noticing initial concepts and compare to expectations for that to clinical situation

Reflection-in-action using reasoning patterns; analytic, narrative and intuitive to respond with nursing action

Reflection-on-action to support and enhance clinical learning and create meaning

Tanner (2006) Clinical Judgement Model

Experiential learning for students Context based learning Based on knowledge and experience of

student or practicing nurse Continuous reflection develops critical

thinking skills for the nurse Includes values, ethics and relationship

with client as factors in thinking

Page 16: Weblogs → blogs  Online journals –  Communication tools +  Marketing power advertising publicity.

Commitment to relationship with client

Student must see the importance of being committed to client outcomes

Uses diagnostic reasoning to recognize patterns and determine priorities

Must constantly evaluate own thinking and actions as well as how client responds to care

Expert nurses “think like a nurse” as engaged moral reasoning and guide students through the process

Page 17: Weblogs → blogs  Online journals –  Communication tools +  Marketing power advertising publicity.

Competence in reflection requires time and experience

Must build a trust relationship with students

Provide supportive and lovingly constructed feedback

Provide a model for students that will guide journal entries

Increase expectations slowly over time to require more evidence-based information and metacognition

Page 18: Weblogs → blogs  Online journals –  Communication tools +  Marketing power advertising publicity.

Novice students need prompting with questions

Guided reflection was used to slowly increase critical thinking and metacognition

Start by tying in theoretical knowledge required to practice safely

Examine whether evidence was interpreted and applied accurately

Page 19: Weblogs → blogs  Online journals –  Communication tools +  Marketing power advertising publicity.

Didactic teaching method

Challenge the student with further questions

Guide them to challenge thinking or assumptions

Have them look at other perspectives of a clinical situation

Encourage them to incorporate theory into practice

Discuss ethical issues within clinical context in a safe confidential forum

Page 20: Weblogs → blogs  Online journals –  Communication tools +  Marketing power advertising publicity.

Blogging allows group discussion as learning

Allows students to read how others think and feel about a clinical situation

Set very clear ground rules about discussion

Ensure comments enhance the discussion and learning and are evidence-based

Must comment on each others entries Can build collegial support groups

Page 21: Weblogs → blogs  Online journals –  Communication tools +  Marketing power advertising publicity.

Reflection is a process not a product

Evaluation should be based on how well one examines thinking

Used in overall evaluation of professional component of clinical evaluation

Self-regulation of nursing practice required by professional organizations

Provide support and guidance as to how to improve and reach learning goals

Page 22: Weblogs → blogs  Online journals –  Communication tools +  Marketing power advertising publicity.

Critical Thinking Questions

Questions based loosely on nursing process

Guided reflection through thinking about client assessment, intervention and evaluation

Questions challenge students to examine common assumptions about client care which may lead to false conclusions or impede clinical learning
