Abstract
This service evaluation aimed to explore ward staff’s experiences of attending a reflective practice (RP) group within an inpatient neuro-rehabilitation setting. Thirteen staff members completed a bespoke questionnaire and three staff members engaged in semi-structured interviews. Findings suggested that the group was a good use of participant’s time, felt a safe space, and was a good space to discuss team dynamics. There were mixed findings regarding whether the group improved staff’s confidence or their understanding of patient’s behaviour. Thematic analysis revealed four core themes, including ‘organisational pressures’ which impacted the RP group; ‘group practicalities’; ‘benefits and improvements’; and the ‘safe space’ of the group. Future evaluations would benefit from using a validated questionnaire and measures of burnout to explore the wider impact of RP.
