The purpose of the reflective journal is to give the student the opportunity to develop reflection of self, therapeutic use of self, and reflection of relationship, assessment skills and therapeutic communication with another person. The student may use the following formats for reflection (paper is to be written in one of these formats only):
Johns’ Model of Reflection
Carper’s Ways of Knowing
Sister Roach’s Six C’s of Caring
Boud’s Model of Reflection
Prompt for this week’s Reflection:
Human Needs
Promotion of comfort and safety during exercise and activities such as eating, mouth care, bathing, sleeping, urinary and bowel elimination are important for clients with both basic and special needs. Reflect on the timing of procedures such as handover or delivery of care, the variation of safety protocols, or how to best provide basic and special needs depending on the stage of client development. For instance, age groups such as the elderly, children, adolescents and teens may require different sleep and elimination patterns. Utilize one of the models of reflection (above) as the framework of your reflection.
