Recovery-Oriented Reflective Practice Groups: Conceptual Framework and Group Structure.

Recovery-Oriented Reflective Practice Groups: Conceptual Framework and Group Structure. Issues Ment Health Nurs. 2019 Oct 11;:1-6 Authors: Gabrielsson S, Looi GE Abstract The recovery-oriented reflective practice group (RORPG) is a staff-directed intervention aimed at achieving the recovery-focused transformation of mental health settings. This discussion paper aims to outline and reflect on the conceptual framework and group structure of recovery-oriented reflective practice groups. RORPGs build on conceptualizations of reflective practice, personal recovery, mental health nursing as a relational and reflective practice, and abductive reasoning. Dewey's phases of reflection, together with an understanding of nursing practice as a dynamic process of care, provide a structure for group sessions in which abductive reasoning can be considered a core activity. This paper outlines a sound theoretical foundation and suggests that RORPGs might prove useful for providing a space for learning in practice, informed by both theoretical and practical knowledge.
