Reflection		Practising in-depth reflection - Gibbs' Model of Reflection GIBBS REFLECTIVE CYCLE GIBBS MODEL OF REFLECTION Context What has happened? Briefly describe the event as objectively, accurately and concisely as you can. Who was involved? Where did it happen? Do you intend to focus on the structure, process or outcomes of care? Thoughts What were your thoughts... ...at the time? ...afterwards? Feelings What were your feelings or emotions, both positive and negative... ...at the time ? ...afterwards ? Evaluation How well did things go? Were things satisfactorily resolved? Analyse What were the factors that affected the outcome? What helped and what hindered? Can you explain the event? Why did it happen? How did it happen? Reframe What might have been some alternative actions or approaches? What might you have done differently (even when things went well)? Could negative events be avoided? Could positive events be made more effective? Future action What will you do if you encounter this kind of situation again? What will you do in the future to increase the likelihood of similar positive outcomes and minimise the likelihood of similar negative outcomes? What do you need to learn? How might you learn this?
