Abstract

Objective: To explore the implementation methods and effects of reflective education, and to provide references for the development of reflective education in Chinese nursing schools. Methods: Relevant literature was searched from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, Wipro Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database, and PubMed Database, and the included studies were analyzed descriptively. Results: The implementation of reflective education included work-site education, group discussion, video teaching, self-reflection, and expert lectures; the interventions mainly included study groups, role-playing, individual instruction, peer cooperation, demonstration and observation, field simulation, and video presentations. The implementation of reflective education can improve the sense of professional identity and professional competence of nursing interns, and reduce nursing errors and adverse events. Conclusion: Currently, nurses in China lack self-awareness and critical thinking skills, it is recommended that reflective education be incorporated into the teaching content of undergraduate nursing students during their internship in order to promote the development of professionalism and humanistic caring skills of nursing students.
