Assessment: Part A - Reflection on Lab Practice and Simulation Sessions

ASSESSMENT:

PART A: SELF-REFLECTION ON LAB & SIMULATION PRACTICE
PART B: SELF-ASSESSMENT USING THE ANSAT

You will be able to identify your strengths and areas for improvement.

ASSESSMENT DETAILS - PART A: SELF-REFLECTION ON LAB PRACTICE AND SIMULATION SESSIONS

Why do I have to write a reflection on my actions or experiences during the lab practice and simulation sessions?

• The reflective assessment guides your development of reflective skills that will facilitate your learning and enable you to focus on the  knowledge, skills, and behaviours you will need to develop to complete your clinical placements.

• You will be able to identify your strengths and areas for improvement.

• You will become more self-aware and understand how you interact with the patient and other team members. How do I write the reflection on the simulation sessions?

• Think of something you did or experienced or anything that happened during the lab sessions and simulation practice session.

• Once you have remembered the situation or experience you wourd like to reflect upon, refer to the Gibbs Reflective Cycle and follow the steps to write the reflection.

• You need to be kind to yourself and view the reflective cycle as something to enhance your learning.

• Avoid too much concentration on the things that did not go well, as this negative approach will prevent you from recognising what you
have done well.

INSTRUCTIONS

Focus on the skills you practiced. communication, 5 Refer to the table below for guidance teamwork, infection control, or moments of significance.

Gibbs' Reflective Cycle

Stage 1: Description What happened?

Describe the experience you had in the Lab sessions and Simulation (focus on a specific skill you practiced or communication, teamwork or infection control or moments of significance).

Do not make judgments or try to conclude. It is advisable to take notes when you are in the labs. This will help you to remember the situation when you are completing the assessment

Stage 2: Feelings What were you thinking and feeling at the time?
Have those feelings changed since?
Were you anxious? Were you calm? Do not analyse these aspects; just reflect on them

Stage 3: Evaluation What was good and bad about the experience?
Make a judgment.

Try to focus on the positive aspects first. What went well? Was there anything that pleased you? Next, think about the areas that did not go well and how you could improve upon them.

Stage 4: Analysis What sense can you make of the experience? What challenged you?
Explore the 'why' of your thoughts, feelings, and judgments.
Break down the situation into parts and explore each part separately. Consider what factors impacted the experience.
