“…Self-aware individuals have higher-order thinking skills as they are able to make rational decisions and solve problems through critical thinking. They are capable of building good, therapeutic relationships with patients and their families across diverse, complex, dynamic healthcare settings and therefore are able to provide holistic, comprehensive and individualised care (Rasheed et al 2020 ). The Johari window can be used as a reflective tool that can assist the self become consciously aware of those aspects pertaining to it, however, hidden from itself.…”

Background: The contemporary healthcare environment is an authentic, demanding, challenging and ever-changing environment that requires learners to possess good self skills when they need to engage in meaningful, critical discourse in order to solve authentic problems. However, nurse educators assume that learners already have well-developed self skills at the commencement of their nursing training and as a result do not explicitly teach and develop such skills in the learners.Objectives: The objectives of this research were to explore and describe nurse educators’ views on how learners’ self skills can be developed within an authentic learning (AL) environment, and to formulate recommendations based on the findings.Method: A qualitative and contextual research design was used to seek rich, in-depth data from 20 nurse educators who were purposively sampled. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted, and the data were analysed using Miles, Huberman and Saldaña method.Results: The three themes that emerged were that nurse educators should (1) ensure an AL environment that promotes self skills, (2) engage learners in activities that will consciously evoke authentic self and (3) evaluate the developed self skills and metacognition.Conclusion: By developing good self skills, learners should be able to deliver quality patient care, find solutions to complex problems and handle cognitive complexity and authentic conditions whilst creating their own identity.

“…No need to say professionals rather avoid such a place, and often have the privilege to do so because they do not regularly have to re ect on their cultural background as they are not confronted as being different (DiAngelo, 2015). Since a 'therapeutic use of self' is seen as a critical to functional performance for health professionals, including occupational therapists (Solman & Clouston, 2016) or nurses (Rasheed et al, 2021), knowledge and insights are required of the in uence of personal and professional identities in providing care.…”

Aim The provision of informal care occurs within larger care networks that involves collaboration with different professionals. This study aims to explore professionals’ perspectives on and experiences in collaboration with caregivers with a migration background in care networks around care recipients with acquired brain injury. Methodology An intersectionality informed qualitative design was used, between 2019 and 2021, with informal conversations (N = 12) and semi-structured interviews (N = 17), to gain insight in how professionals’ perspectives are framed and shaped by aspects of diversity, as well as situational and contextual factors. Two critical friends were involved in either the thematic or the secondary intersectionality informed analysis which was substantiated by a participatory analysis in a community of practice. Results We identified four interrelated themes: (a) “The difficult Other” in which professionals reflected on caregivers and care-recipients with a migration background causing ‘difficulties’; (b) “The dependent Other” refers to professionals’ realization that ‘difficulties’ are intensified by the context in which care takes place; (c) in “The uncomfortable self” professionals describe how feelings of insecurities evoked by the Other are associated with an inability to act ‘professionally’, and; (d) “The reflexive self” shows how some professionals reflect on their own identities and identify their blind spots in collaboration within a care network. Conclusion These interrelated themes offer an explanation of evidenced health inequalities in diverse networks and a pathway to unsettle the Self-Other binary. We conclude there is a need for educational curricula and professionals to invest in the integration of such reflexive practices to ensure health equalities for all. Impact The integration of reflexive practices in healthcare curricula is needed as diversity responsive care requires a critical investigation of oneself as professional. Public Contribution Caregivers, patients with acquired brain injury and different healthcare professionals were involved in the study design and interpretation of the data.

“…This study was conducted as part of a sequential mixed‐methods study of front‐line practising nurses’ self‐awareness. The mixed‐methods study comprised two phases: first, a qualitative study of 13 bedside nurses to explore their views about the significance and demonstration of self‐awareness in practice (Younas et al., 2020); and second, the development and testing of a self‐awareness nurses scale using a pilot and large‐scale survey of 252 and 216 nurses (Rasheed et al., 2020). Based on the results of the mixed‐methods study, the need emerged to explore self‐awareness in the context of nursing management.…”

Aims To explore the nurse managers' perspectives about the role and application of self‐awareness in managerial practice. Background Effectively accomplishing complex roles and maintaining a healthy work environment requires nurse managers to be resilient and sustain positive relationships with nurses and interdisciplinary teams. Self‐awareness is an essential attribute for building relationships and creating a healthier work environment. Methods A descriptive qualitative design was used. We conducted semi‐structured interviews with a purposive sample of ten managers working in two tertiary hospitals. Reflexive thematic analysis was used for data analysis. Results Four themes were generated: “maximizing potential for overseeing complex management issues; becoming a conscientious and thoughtful manager; using experiential learning for nurturing managerial capabilities; and utilizing self and others’ appraisal for discerning practical managerial approaches”. Conclusions Implementing self‐awareness in complex situations is beneficial for nurse managers. It allows them to overcome negative emotions and factors and incorporate ethical and moral reasoning, thereby preventing them from ineffectual management. Implications for Nursing Management Nurse managers should focus on assessing their temperaments and managerial abilities in each complex situation. They should use experiential learning from past experiences for discerning effective actions for managing complex situations.
