I feel that reflection is important to help understand why events happen and how you can improve yourself in future practice

A patient with dementia came needing a chest x-ray. They came in with a carer, and wanted to go everywhere where their carer went. Found it really hard to get the patient to stay still when everyone went behind the screen.
In the end had to ask the carer to give the patient loads of reassurance, and had to move really quick in order to get an image.
Reflecting on this situation would help me explore ways of  getting around such difficult cases and reduce possibilities of re-exposure.

This is a good way to reflect on my own practice during placement and gives us the opportunity to discuss with other students our own experiences, any difficult situations we may have come across and ways to overcome these difficult situations.

I need to make use of the action plans I have made.
Observe the details, even under difficult circumstances.
Think about other people's perspectives eg. Why is a referer frustrated with you for not taking an Xray, and questioning their justification.

Changed an elderly patient for a pelvis x-ray, he came in  wearing the gown wrongly i.e the split side was in front.
So once i asked him to lay down, everything could be seen (pirvate areas )
I was so uncomfortable cos i was the only one at the room, the radiographer supervising me was behind the screen. Had to call for help.
I realised he was wearinga hearing aid, so i learnt effective communication in difficult situations. So, next time i will assess the patient properly and explain what ever i want them to do after judging their situation.

I like using the Gibb’s reflection model as it walks you through each stage by giving you questions which helps me as I never know what to write when reflecting.

I think reflection is important so you can learn from your experiences and improve for the next time you do it. If you assess what went good and what went bad you will be able to assess what needs to be done next time to improve things for the patient. However I find it difficult to put my reflection down into words and make it sound academic in assignments as I feel as if I’m pointing out the obvious

I used Gibb's on my last reflection. I felt like it guided me well on the structure.

Gibbs reflective model allows effective reflection on situations in which were overwhelming or hard to deal with as it explores all areas concerning personal feelings, others feelings and how to deal with the situation in the future. It helps your understanding and how to cope with challenging situations e.g. when a patient doesn’t speak English, communicating with a child, aggressive patients and uncooperative patients

What?  A radiographer give me a dressing down because the wrong exposure was selected and I nearly exposed.  Fortunately, I paused and checked which highlighted the error.
So what?  This could have been a potential radiation incident. The radiographer was actually the one who selected the wrong exposure.  I was blamed for this and didn't correct the radiographer.
What now?  I always double check the exposure setting even if a qualified radiographer tells me they have done it.  In future I will professionally address the situation.

The last reflection assignment we completed I found difficult, since reading up on reflection models and taking part in IPE week I feel more confident on how to structure a reflection and am going to use a different model for my next reflection.
I have also realised that I have many situations that I can reflect on both from academic work and clinical practice. My next reflection will be about communication with senior members of staff.

I don't like reflecting as I find it hard to know how to put my thoughts into words and how to explain myself.

I like using the John's (2000) model of reflection because it was designed for nurses. Therefore the style of reflection is critical and relevant to clinical practice.
