PARTNERING IN CARE 2
Introduction
Refelection is an important component of the nursing profesion particularly because it
helps nurses to reflect on their practice to enhance their ability to provide quality care. The six
stages of Gibbs reflection model (description, feelings, evaluation , analysis, conclusion and
action plan) propoded by Burns and Bulman (2000) will be used to reflect on the experience
for a patient named Mr.Taylor in his pursuit for care.Additionally nursing theories such as
Nursing philosophy and the Nursing code of ethis will also be used. The paper will begin with a
description of the overall experiences and conclude with the action plan to be adopted.The plan
will also include a description of my feelings thoughts,values and beliefs with regards to the
situation.Axditionally, it will also include an analysis of the experience of the patient and a
conclusion which will discuss meanings drawn from the scenario.
Description
The experiences of Mr Taylor depict the absence of quality and partnering in care .Mr
Taylor’s experience starts with the his fall on his way home from buying groceries. The horrible
fall was followed by a visit to his physician who advised the fall victim to undergo an ex-
ray.However, the physican dis not reccomedn on any further checks to find out if the patient may
have suffered any internal damage after the fall. This is a depiction of lack of protection from the
harm associated with falls.His second fall was followed by several blood tests which exposed the
fact that the patient had anaemia.This revelation was elusive in his previous tests even though
anaemial related symptoms were clearly visible.Mr.Taylor’s case also focuses on his experience
in public hospitals.He explains how at one incident he was forced to wat for 11 hours in order to
be attended to.Based on this experience the care received by Mr.Taylor was inadequate. Apart
from his anaemic condition and complications contributed by repeated falls, mr Taylor was also

suffering from several other medical conditions including industrial deafness, allergic rhinitis
and hypertension. One of the of the thmes of care that healthcare providers may use is
the adoption of an appropriate attitude in care provision. The attitude adopted by a healthcare
provider plays a significant role in the quality of care provided to a patient as it makes it possible
for care providers to maintain objectivity when deliberating on care options. The satisfaction of
patient's mental, emotional, and physical needs is also a strategy that may be used to satisfy
patient's experience, according to the Australian Commission on quality and safety in healthcare
(Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, 2011). Both the input of family
members and healthcare providers in keeping him safe from falls is mainly missing.
Feelings and thoughts
After analyzing Mr. Taylor’s case, I feel quite sad for him. My feeling is attributed to the
fact that in one of his visits to a public hospital, he was made to wait for 11 hours despite.
Additionally, I also feel sorry for him because of the horrific injury sustained while doing his
daily routine because he had no one to assist him. I think that as nictitated by his age and his
medical condition at that time, he ought to have had someone to watch over him and help him in
activities such as going to purchase groceries at the market. I also feel that the surgeon who
attended to him was quite inconsiderate to Mr. Taylor’s plight based on how he described Mr.
Taylor’s body. As a compassionate care provider, he ought to have considered Mr. Taylor’s
condition before making his remarks (Gittell, 2009).
Value and beliefs
As an individual who I deeply concerned about the welfare of patients, I hold values and
beliefs such as immediate action, commitment, empathy, critical thinking, and professionalism.I
