Abstract
This chapter introduces reflective practice, involving the use of reflection and self-awareness, in relation to thoughtful person-centred practice (see Figure U3-1 in the unit opener). Reflective practice is incorporated in the professional standards of nursing and midwifery. This chapter outlines some of the models and professional strategies that are referred to by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) (2016, 2018), the Nursing Council of New Zealand (NCNZ) (2007, 2020), the Midwifery Council of New Zealand (MCNZ) (2007, 2020), and other relevant literature for increasing reflective practice through improving self-awareness. It provides practical examples as well as opportunities for you to engage in self-awareness and reflective activities.
