Due to this complex and continually changing environment, healthcare professionals could benefit from a program of reflective practice. Reflective Practice (DAVIS 2012) 1 is increasing from an experience for any situation, acquisition of new knowledge and skills, further understanding of own beliefs, attitudes and values. This practice involves encouragement of self-motivation and self-directed learning in nursing education and clinical practice.
