Reflective Practice: A Guide For Nurses And Midwives

...a practical and insightful guide, richly illuminated with stories from everyday practice, to enable the practitioner to become an effective reflective practitioner. The power of Beverley Taylor's approach is to view reflection as a way of life, and not just as a technique. Reflection is widely taught as a means for nurses and midwives to understand the impact of their actions and how to improve their professional practice. This practical guide shows nurses and midwives how to develop their reflective skills and how to sustain reflective practice throughout their professional lives. Taylor introduces three main types of technical, practical and emancipatory, showing readers how they can be used in different aspects of clinical work. Her work on technical reflection explains how it can become part of evidence-based practice. The book includes real examples of reflective writing from nurses and midwives.
