Becoming a Reflective Practitioner

Autor Christopher Johns
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 oct 2025

În practica medicală contemporană, simpla acumulare de cunoștințe tehnice nu mai este suficientă pentru a asigura o îngrijire de calitate superioară. Reținem că utilitatea practică a volumului Becoming a Reflective Practitioner, aflat la a șaptea ediție, rezidă în capacitatea sa de a transforma experiențele clinice brute în oportunități de învățare structurată. Clinicianul care parcurge această lucrare va putea să își analizeze critic deciziile cotidiene, trecând de la o execuție rutinată la o practică „dezirabilă”, ancorată în empatie și auto-reflexivitate.

Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Christopher Johns își organizează materialul, pornind de la structuri de bază și tipologii ale reflecției, până la aplicarea lor în cadre clinice complexe. Față de edițiile anterioare, se observă o evoluție clară către utilizarea dialogului narativ și a „spiralelor reflexive”. Manualul este comparabil cu Reflective Practice in Nursing de Chris Bulman, însă versiunea de față se distinge prin introducerea modelului specific Johns și prin noile secțiuni dedicate managementului conflictelor și calității îngrijirii, actualizate conform cerințelor actuale din sistemele de sănătate.

Spre deosebire de alte lucrări ale autorului care explorează filosofia pură sau politici publice, precum Leibniz's Discourse on Metaphysics, această carte rămâne pilonul central al carierei sale în asistență medicală. Structura progresivă, care include studii de caz precum „Peter și Sam” sau „Tom și Joan”, ghidează cititorul prin patru mișcări dialogice esențiale. Nu este doar un manual teoretic, ci un instrument de lucru care folosește „întreaga activitate cerebrală” pentru a naviga complexitatea relației de îngrijire.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
From Reviews of the second edition:
′Christopher Johns is an internationally recognised pioneer of reflective practice in nursing and health care. The first edition of this book was an excellent resource and this updated version is equally impressive.This is a superb resource for nurses and all those eager to enhance their knowledge and skills in reflective practice. It is well presented, user–friendly and stimulating.′
Nursing Standard

Becoming a Reflective Practitioner is a practical guide to using reflection in every day clinical practice. It explores the value of using models of reflection, with particular reference to Chris Johns′ own model for structured reflection.
Becoming a Reflective Practitioner includes accounts of everyday practice to guide the reader through the stages of reflective practice within the context of care, ′desirable practice′, and the caring relationship. This third edition reflects significant developments in reflective theory and gives greater attention to different approaches to reflection including the use of narrative dialogue. New chapters are included on ensuring quality and managing conflict. Exemplars are included throughout and further references and reflected reading are included at the end of each chapter.

Reflective practice is acknowledged as an effective approach to developing nursing care which evolves as the practitioner develops his or her own practice. This book will therefore be of interest to all nurses involved in developing their clinical practice.
