Nursing Reflective Essay using Gibb’sModel
Introduction
Learning can take place based on reflections on the experiences of the workplace.
Reflection, in essence, supports nursing practice and appraises various observations, actions and
feelings (Arveklev et al., 2015) Gibbs reflective cycle offers an important avenue for reflecting
past experiences encountered. It is essential for nursing practice to offer reflection and enhance
experiences for better delivery of care among the population. This essay reflects on my
experiences of learning on the importance of culture among Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander. This will be crucial in understanding the contemporary indigenous well being of the
Aboriginal and Torres and relevance of culture in their diverse and complex population.
Description
Aboriginal and Torres Islander physical well being refers to social, emotional and cultural
sense of the whole community. Understanding the health of the indigenous persons involves
having a clear understanding of the community at large. The concept of health among the
Aboriginal and Torres Islander encompasses concepts of culture. Developing culture awareness
on this perspective is essential in establishing how health issues should be addressed.
Understanding of the cultural significance of the Torres and the Aboriginal population is
essential for me so as to enhance delivery of care and assess how various cultural perceptions
affect health care quality. My unit of study geared towards understanding the health of the
Aboriginal and Torres as an essential in quantifying the factors linked to cultural aspects such as
identity, health outcomes, language, and connection with the country (Dudgeon, Wright &
Coffin, 2010). Thus learning on the cultural dimension of the indigenous community was
essential for me as a part of enhancing care delivery in the future.
