Gibb’s model (1984) developed from the theoretical model of Kolb’s 4 stage
experiential learning model. The highlight of this model is learning through experience. The
Gibb’s model is also known as the iterative model. The highlight of this model is learning
through repetition. The six stages of Gibb’s reflective cycle are that appeared in Learning By
Doing in 1988 (Watson, 2013). The rationale behind the adoption of the Gibb’s Reflective
model is to challenge the established assumptions, explore new approaches towards thinking
strategies, promotion of self-improvement through the identification of strength and
weaknesses and linking practise to theory through observation and knowledge. Below I have
utilized the Gibb’s reflective model to reflect on my activities pertaining to the tutorial on
week 5, week 6 and week 7
Reflection on the personal and professional development
Description- On Week 5 we were introduced to the model of person- Centred Care (PCC)
that was concerned with the discussion of person-centred and evidence-based practise for the
healthcare and well-being of the patient. I particularly liked this patient-centred approach
considering that it renders agency to the patients and recognizes their role in the promotion of
collaborative healthcare. In this model, the patient and the healthcare professional take
decision regarding the health of the patient. Patient-Centred Care also known as the Person
Centred Care emerged in the 1960s as a challenge to the traditional practise of the healthcare
professional occupying a hierarchical position and limiting the participation of patients in
their healthcare delivery (Wilding, 2008). Although, PCC emerged in the nursing education,
given its progressive and non-hierarchal approach to healthcare it has become a standard
practise for healthcare professional. However, there are certain barriers to PCC (Patient-

Centred Care) and those are skill-mix, focussing on the skill-based models of care and
focusing on the funding for the throughput (Timmins & O'Shea, 2014). It has been found that
less qualified professionals are rendered with high responsibility or the absence of adequate
nurses to take care of the resident patients. Another recognized barrier is the allocation of
tasks to different nurses instead of taking care of the patients and understanding their unique
needs. The organizational culture is also found to be influential in determining the
environment for patient care and patient support

During the initial period of my nurse training I had limited knowledge about nursing.
Secondly, I did not have the opportunity to muster practical adaptation of the model of Gibb’s
reflective cycle, clinical reasoning cycle, and Roper and Logan and Tierney Model of
clinical care. With the introduction of clinical reasoning cycle I realized about the
importance of the most appropriate clinical reasoning skills have appositive outcome on the
patient. This is found to be quite significant considering the large number of negative patient
outcome borne by the patients due to the incompetency of the nurses. I was not aware about
the Roper-Logan-Tierney Model of living that I found to be redolent of the patient-centred
care approach. This model promotes the autonomy of the patients and assess the change that
occurred in their lives post illness and injury (Higgs, 2008). I learnt about the five key factors
of biological, sociocultural, environmental, politicieconomical and psychological factors are
important inform the theory of nursing with the aim of making it a holistic model. I realized
the importance of daily living in the assessment of the patient. On week 7 we were introduced
to the Clinical Reasoning Cycle that elaborated on the reflection and fostered critical thinking
in the delivery of healthcare service. I was introduced to the five kinds of emotional stressors
those are social support networks, centre of control, life perspective, emotional control and
preparation for stress
