Problem: Australian Paramedic
The Scenario:
You have returned from a call out to a patient that was exhibiting inappropriate and challenging behaviour. You feel your response to the situation was challenged, and that your reaction to the patient throughout the situation caused you to consider you may need some additional training or support for these types of events. You recognise that you were a bit vulnerable and your reaction and responses were emotive. You will conduct some reflection to review the situation and support your professional development.
NOW, assuming you were at the above scenario, complete the following 'reflective practice activity'
Do it: (Identify exactly what it was that triggered your response in the above scenario (assumed of course). What was it that took you outside your professional comfort zone? Insert your responses below)
What: (What actually happened and what were the results or the outcome?)
So What: (What do these results imply and how did you influence the outcomes?)
Now What: (What will you do differently next time and what learning or professional develop do you need to focus on for a better outcome?)
