class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Driscoll\u2019s Model of reflection is a simple framework used by nurses and students to think about experiences, learning from them. Furthermore, it was developed by John Driscoll in 1994 and was revised in 2004\/ 2007 to become the simplest framework of reflective writing. This reflection model is based on three basic questions, including:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What?<\/li>\n<li>So what?<\/li>\n<li>Now what?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These are the three questions that help nurses and students break down their past experiences, understand them and decide what to do differently next time.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, this model is widely used in nursing education because it is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy to understand<\/li>\n<li>Quick to apply<\/li>\n<li>Effective for learning from real situations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The best part is that it is helpful for reflective essays, clinical placements and professional development.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Three_Stages_of_Driscolls_Reflective_Model\"><\/span>The Three Stages of Driscoll\u2019s Reflective Model<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1487 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nursingassignmentwriters.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/the-three-stages-of-driscolls-reflective-model.webp\" alt=\"The Three Stages of Driscoll\u2019s Reflective Model\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nursingassignmentwriters.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/the-three-stages-of-driscolls-reflective-model.webp 1024w, https:\/\/nursingassignmentwriters.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/the-three-stages-of-driscolls-reflective-model-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/nursingassignmentwriters.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/the-three-stages-of-driscolls-reflective-model-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/nursingassignmentwriters.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/the-three-stages-of-driscolls-reflective-model-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/nursingassignmentwriters.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/the-three-stages-of-driscolls-reflective-model-400x400.webp 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As we previously talked that the Driscoll\u2019s reflective model has three stages. They include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What or Description<\/li>\n<li>So What or Analysis<\/li>\n<li>Now What or Action Plan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Come on! Let\u2019s dive deep into the details about them.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_What_Description\"><\/span>1. What? (Description)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This is the first stage in the reflection model, which is used to describe the situation without judging yourself. Furthermore, you have to ask yourself questions like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What happened?<\/li>\n<li>Who was involved?<\/li>\n<li>What did I do?<\/li>\n<li>What did others do?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The main point of this section is to provide a factual account of the events that occurred with you to help you reflect on them properly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During my shift, a patient pressed the call bell several times. I went to check and found they were in pain after surgery. I informed the senior nurse and helped reposition the patient.<\/p>\n<p>Think of this stage as the foundation for reflection because you can\u2019t analyse or improve something unless you first understand what actually happened.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_So_What_Analysis\"><\/span>2. So What? (Analysis)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>In this step, you reflect on the meaning of the experience. Furthermore, you get to understand why this particular situation matters and what you can learn from it. You have to ask yourself questions like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Why was this essential?<\/li>\n<li>How did I feel?<\/li>\n<li>What did I learn?<\/li>\n<li>What went well or badly?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This stage helps you develop critical thinking skills. Moreover, you become more self-aware of your feelings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I realised the patient\u2019s pain could have been managed earlier if I had checked on them more frequently. I was concerned that they had to press the bell repeatedly. I learned the importance of regular patient monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>This stage can help you understand the situation and turn the experience into a learning opportunity.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Now_What_Action_Plan\"><\/span>3. Now What? (Action Plan)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This is the most important stage of the Driscoll Model of reflection because it focuses on improvement. You are constantly thinking of the future and what actions you can take. Therefore, ask yourself:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What will I do differently next time?<\/li>\n<li>How can I improve?<\/li>\n<li>What skills do I need to develop?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This stage helps you turn the reflection into real learning and leads to change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Next time, I will check post-operative patients more frequently and ask about their pain levels before they need to call for help.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the \u201cNow what\u201d stage helps transform your reflection into professional growth and better patient care.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Driscolls_Model_of_Reflection_2007_Version\"><\/span>Driscoll\u2019s Model of Reflection 2007 Version<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nottingham.ac.uk\/library\/documents\/academicskillstoolkit\/reflective-writing-model-driscoll.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Driscoll Model of Reflection (2007)<\/a> is a refined version of John Driscoll\u2019s framework. Furthermore, it is specifically updated to provide academic depth for healthcare professionals and students. While maintaining the core &#8220;What?, So What?, Now What?&#8221; pattern, the 2007 update offers clearer prompts to encourage critical analysis over simple description.<\/p>\n<p>Widely used in nursing portfolios and assignments, this model bridges the gap between clinical experience and professional growth. Additionally, it empowers practitioners to transform routine encounters into meaningful learning outcomes. Thus, it ultimately strengthen the professional judgement and communication skills.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Use_Driscolls_Model_of_Reflection_in_Nursing\"><\/span>Why Use Driscoll\u2019s Model of Reflection in Nursing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nursing is a practical profession.

Hence, it is widely used in nursing education and clinical practice, as nurses can use it quickly even after busy shifts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Driscoll_Model_of_Reflection_in_Nursing_Practice\"><\/span>Driscoll Model of Reflection in Nursing Practice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This reflection model is not only for the students and their coursework. Instead, it is also considered part of the real clinical work. Nurses, doctors and those starting out with their career use this to reflect on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How did their patient interactions go?<\/li>\n<li>Medication administration<\/li>\n<li>Emergency situations<\/li>\n<li>Communication with colleagues.<\/li>\n<li>Tackle their ethical dilemmas<\/li>\n<li>Leadership experiences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By reflecting on this, the nurses can enhance their decision-making, think critically, and provide the best patient care, contributing to healthcare.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items: center; background: #4bbeca; padding: 1rem 2rem; max-width: 61vw; border-radius: 20px;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 60%;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.4rem; line-height: normal; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 0; color: #fff !important;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Need_Help_with_Reflective_Nursing_Assignments\"><\/span>Need Help with Reflective Nursing Assignments?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #fff !important;\">If you are struggling with reflective writing, essays or understanding models like Driscoll\u2019s, expert academic support can make things easier.
