Guidelines – The Reflective Structure
You can remove any headings after writing your commentary to assist with the flow of your academic work.
Introduction (350 words).
Start by giving a short opening statement which is a description of what the reflection is about using approximately 50 words. Your introduction should answer these 3 questions:
a. What? The introduction needs to clearly explain what the reflection is about. This section needs to explain in your own words what is required as stated in the assessment brief given above.
b. How? The second part of the introduction needs to outline how the reflection is structured or will be presented. This section needs to give a rationale for any reflection module used. You need to summarise the details given below.
c. Why? An introduction needs to articulate why the topics under consideration are significant. This is your rationale. Use references to support it.
Your reflection:
Please write in the third person. In academic writing the convention is to write in the third person. This means not using personal pronouns (words such as I, me or my), and avoiding referring to yourself.
Context (250 words)
Define what is meant by personal effectiveness and wellbeing. Why is this an important topic in Healthcare. You need to focus the critical analysis on your experiences and field of nursing. (Learning Outcome 1, 3, 4)
Discussion (2150 words)
This could be separated into sections to ensure you cover all the required material. The following is a suggested format though you are encouraged to be creative and sequence your work in the most logical way for you.
a. Explore Personal effectiveness and reflection, discuss different models of reflection and the value in use. Analyse previous experiences when reflection has been used and its effectiveness. (Learning Outcomes 1) (Session 1,3).
b. Identify how reflection informs self-care and resiliencein the context of current health care and professionalpractice. (Learning Outcomes 2, 3, 4) (Session 2, 4, 6).
c. Use critical understanding of the principles, values and behaviours that underlie safe, high quality nursing practice and leadership. (Learning Outcomes 3) (Session 3, 4, 6).
d. Critically explore resilience, what does this mean in your field of nursing and in nursing in general. (Learning Outcomes 2, 4) (Session 4, 6).
e. Synthesise the effect of the transition to becoming a student nurse has had on your understanding of personal effectiveness and wellbeing. (Learning Outcomes 4) (Session All).
f. Critically review the learning from the module and distil action points that could be developed into an action plan. (Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 4) (Session 1, 5, 6, 8).
g. Reflect on the learning from the module and apply to resolving action points identified. (Learning Outcomes 2, 4) (Session 6, 8).
Conclusion (200 - 250 words)
Your conclusion is for both parts, Part 1 & 2. No references or new information should be added to the conclusion.
a. Summary: Put a short concluding statement of approximately 50 words then summarise the key learning points that have emerged from the reflection.
b. Recommendations: Make 2 – 4 recommendations on what needs to be done in light of your findings and conclusions.

Harvard referencing style (see Cite Them Right guidance). Please be aware that the referencing guide is regularly updated.
Appendices.
Appendices serve both the writer and the reader of your commentary. In an appendix, you can include material that supports your work but that would be distracting or too long in the text of the commentary, for example, the action plan with SMART goals and the self-developed checklist. Material in an appendix must be relevant to the commentary. Links and references between the appendix and the commentary need to be made in the main text (in other words, ensure that you appropriately signpost the reader to the appendix in the body of your commentary). There is no need to put images of cited information in the appendix as the reader can use your citation to look at these if necessary.
