Abstract

Background: Emergency nurses often find themselves doing practice at fast changing situations routinely and repetitively, therefore they might miss some important aspects in practice that could affect patient safety and might miss the opportunity to learn from their experience. To deal with this challenge, a life-long learning strategy is needed. Researchers suggest that a habitual reflection can be beneficial, since a potential mistake can be identified and prevented by analysis and reflection upon what has gone previously. Objective: This study is aimed to look at how reflective learning could be implemented in emergency nursing practice, including what aspects that should be considered when implementing this learning strategy. Method: A general literature review was conducted, employing CINAHL, Science Direct, and PubMed to find relevant articles using search terms: reflection, reflective learning, reflective practice, combined with emergency nurses. The articles used in this study are published within 2005 - 2017. Two outdated literature had also been used in this study in order to build arguments and analysis. Result: At least four strategies are needed to integrate reflective learning into emergency practice. First, emergency nurses should thoroughly understand the core of nursing as a profession. Second, they must know the essential process in reflection in order to reflect appropriately. Third, since emergency nurses have to deal with time constraint, uncertainty, and high workload, they must find appropriate reflection approaches and analysing their strengths and weaknesses. Fourth, emergency nurses must be aware of over-reflecting and uncertainty, since they can compromise them to act immediately when delivering care to the patients. Conclusion: Reflective learning can be beneficial when assisting emergency nurses in learning and dealing with challenges in emergency department. Literature suggests at least four strategies to implement this learning method. Further research is required to find appropriate reflective learning approaches and models which most fit with emergency nursing practice.
