Why is reflection important for healthcare professionals?
Healthcare professionals need to be able to think critically and solve problems. They need to be able to self-assess their knowledge and skill level and be motivated to increase their knowledge and skills throughout their career.
Reflective writing is personal. It is your response to experiences, events, new information, thoughts, feelings. It is a way to explore your learning and personal growth. Reflections help you better understand what you have learned and should help you think about your strengths and weaknesses. Reflection should also help you identify where you need to direct your future learning. It is important to remember that reflective writing is not just summarizing or describing what you have learned. Reflective writing is personal and requires thought before sitting down to the keyboard to write your statement. Reflective thinking usually includes looking back at an event or activity, analyzing it from different perspectives and thinking about what this experience means to you and your journey as a student or healthcare professional.
