This essay will describe my experience using the Gibb’s reflective model. Description Action Feelings Conclusion Evaluation Analysis Gibbs Reflective Cycle.

I wanted to find out some possible reactions from people so I intentionally exposed it to some friends I was comfortable around and told them it was a fake bag with poo. I was shocked at their behaviour and how they would not let me come closer to them because of that. What I could not elicit from their response was whether they were not sympathizing with me because I was well and did not have to keep a poo in a bag and hang to myself or they would behave same to real people who are on …show more content…

I was stable most of the times and did not feel it was emotionally challenging enough because I could take it off at any time.

(2014) concludes that colostomy patients’ face physical changes associated with body image, sexual dysfunction and bowel movement pattern. They also experience change in lifestyle including their diet, work, dressing, intimate behaviour, social activity and dressing.

People everywhere including soldiers carry physical or emotional things with them all the time. However, the things one carries along defines one as a person, exposing one’s flaws and great qualities. For example, in the novel, “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien, the novels view on the Vietnam War illustrates the lives of the soldiers who fought and died there. Additionally, O’Brien establishes what each character carried in a literal and mental form such as, by exposing guilt, innocence, and emotional burdens in each solider, which gives one an insight of how those men were during the war.

When I was first diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a common colon disease, I had no idea what it was. It wasn’t until several tests and explanations from multiple doctors that my parents and I started to understand the extent of the problem. Although it didn’t seem like it would be a big deal, it quickly took over my entire life. Dealing with the condition meant chronic pain, medication, and many more doctors’ visits. Fortunately, my case wasn’t too severe.

Launer (2003) describes external and internal factors in supervision whereby clinical practice and sharing skills are external and reflection is an ‘internal conversation.’ Brunero & Stein-Parbury (2008) discussed the effects of clinical supervision in nursing staff and argued that self-reflection generates a sense of self-awareness and knowledge to the individual. Supervisees or students may be asked what happened during a clinical event, how they felt, the implications of their actions and what they would do differently if faced with the same situation.
