Instructions

Activity - Critical reflection - help seeking behaviour 

A critical aspect of your professional development as nurses and midwives is your ability to seek assistance or guidance and support. Not only is this needed for positive patient outcomes but it is also vital for your own well being. It is, however, not always an easy thing to do.

The purpose of this assessment is to develop you understanding and ability to seek help in the professional setting by completing a guided critical reflection. Mezirow’s Transformative Learning Theory offers an approach to critical reflection that will help you develop the ability to critically reflect on any situation or interaction, consider your personal assumptions and perspectives and perhaps even experience a shift in perspective as a result of the reflection.

The focus for this critical reflection is help seeking behaviours.

Building on the work you completed in the tutorial for week five, please follow these headings to build your own critical reflection. Please note that the explanation/prompts (in italics) are to help you consider your unique experience from some different perspectives. They are suggestions to guide you - only the Bold are the areas that must be included.
