Reflective Practice in Nursing: The Growth of the Professional Practitioner

Reflection has the potential to help nurses to develop and learn from their practice. The third edition of this popular text is aimed at students and practitioners wanting to learn more about reflection and what it can offer them.

Reflective Practice in Nursing draws on the latest research and on practitioners’ experiences to provide you with a practical accessible guide to reflection on every day practice. Its emphasis remains on providing help to develop and challenge your knowledge, skills and values for reflective practice. Updated chapters on the skills for reflection, developments in assessing and evaluating reflection, mentoring and personal reflection are included, as well as new chapters on group reflection and writing reflectively. There is also new information on the experience of teaching as well as learning reflection and help and advice on the use of reflective frameworks and other ideas for using reflection yourself.
