Abstract
Background: Reflection is a proven process to help nurses acquire the skills and competencies needed for clinical training. In general, the goal of reflection in clinical education is to support the development of self-directed health professionals in enhancing new skills through reflection; Aim: To assess the value of reflection in nursing practice. Research Design: A descriptive correlation design was utilized. Setting: This study was conducted at Dar al Fouad Hospital on 6th October City. Subjects: A purposive sample (145) of nurse managers, clinical nurse educators, and staff nurses. Tools: Two tools were used to collect data in this study. The first tool was the nursing personnel’s level of knowledge questionnaire. The second tool was the nursing personnel’s perception questionnaire about reflection. Results: 80.5% of the study sample had an unsatisfactory knowledge level about reflection in nursing practice, and 98% of the studied sample had a positive perception of reflection. Conclusion: There is no significant correlation between total knowledge and total perception of the study sample. There is a significant direct correlation between knowledge age and experience. Also, there is a significant direct correlation between knowledge and training while there is no significant correlation between perception and personal data. Recommendations: Develop a nursing curriculum in which the nursing students are actively involved in their education and training plans. As well as incorporate reflective practice into performance reviews and professional development plans, encouraging nurses to engage in continuous self-assessment and improvement.
