Abstract

Subject: To investigate the psychological feelings of nurses about the application of Gibbs Reflective Cycle during nursing adverse events. Methods: 13 cases were interviewed in depth by semi-structured interviews, and the interview data were analysed and summarized. Result: After the occurrence of adverse events, nurses on duty have negative emotions, especially in the event of big adverse events, the psychological feeling of depression is more intense, and even leading to the new nurses on duty doubt about their careers. The nurses think that the Gibbs Reflective Cycle is helpful for the growth, especially for nursing staff with low seniority. However, it is difficult to determine the specific cause when analyzing the cooperation and participation of adverse events. Nurses also worry that a reflective diary could become a bad record for the rest of their careers. Conclusion: Gibbs reflection Cycle's theoretical approach can help nurses develop clinical nursing thinking in the process of dealing with adverse events and deepen nurses' understanding of the causes of adverse events. At the same time, nursing managers should pay attention to nurses' negative psychological state and eliminate their concerns about poor work records. Using Gibbs reflection Cycle to reflect on the causes of adverse events is a way to develop nurses' clinical thinking, which is an effective way to continue medical education and training.
