Journal
Purpose Reflexivity encourages learners to feel able to look at both themselves and the systems that produce them, to make considered and lasting change (Dawson et al, 2022). Reflexivity is an intentional intellectual activity in which individuals explore or examine a situation, an issue, or object based on their past experiences, to develop new understandings that will ultimately influence their actions or in which they critically analyse the field of action as a whole (Tremblay et al., 2014, p. 539 quoted in Alexander, 2020). Reflexive journal writing can deepen understandings of context, clarify connections between theory and practice, assist with self-evaluation, improve supervision, and practice development, and potentially deepen understandings for already endorsed/registered clinicians (Barry & O’Callaghan, 2009).
Description
This Reflexive Journal assessment requires you to briefly describe, and then critically analyse episodes/events/situations related to diagnosis, and care planning and implementation from your current Nurse Practitioner practice. Thoughtfully choose a minimum of two (2) and a maximum of three (3) episodes/events/situations to allow the demonstration of your reflexive skills, including:
•critical reflexion on own beliefs, prejudices, power, and privilege, related to the chosen episodes/events/situations concerning diagnostics/interventions
•analysis of the social, historical, political, and discursive factors that shaped relationships between you, other health professionals/disciplines if relevant, and the clients/patients related to the chosen episodes/events/situations
•critical analysis of the impact that these held beliefs and contexts have on care provision, related to the chosen episodes/events/situations
•academic writing style and high-quality sources to support deliberations/analyses/new understandings(based on Dawson et al, 2022, p.16).
