Deepening Medical Cooperation: the Application of Taylor's Reflective Model in Nursing Practice
Journal: Advanced Journal of Nursing DOI: 10.32629/ajn.v5i2.2455
Abstract
This paper uses Taylor's emancipatory reflection model to examine an ethical issue involving nurses' rights, that is, the hegemonic behavior of doctors deprived nurses of their right to participate in multidisciplinary team activities. The aim is to demonstrate and promote the key skills of emancipatory reflection, while also developing critical awareness and analysis of potential problems arising from the hegemonic behaviour of doctors over nurses. Through the application of this reflective process, attempts are made to break the internal bondage and reevaluate the value within the medical relationship.
