Areas which will be focuses in personal and professional development
As I am working as a psychiatrist there are many areas in which I need improvement. There are many skills required for providing proper care to the mental patients. Following are the areas in which I need improvement: Listening skills: Being a psychiatrist, this skills is very essential as only when one listen carefully understanding the issue will become easy. In order to know the problem or issue one should have listening skills. For listening properly, concentration and focus is very important. One of the problems which I face is when I get multiple orders form by superiors. In addition to this, in order to understand patients listening skills are very important. For example, when my superiors ask me to perform many tasks, I fail in remembering all the task given to me. As a result, I fail in completing the tasks on time and effectively. This problem occurs because of lack of proper listening.
Cont... Time management: There are many mental patients to whom I have to look after. I find it very difficult look after all the patient then to find time for myself. This happens because of lack in time management. I have to manage time in such a way that I could look after all the patients effectively and could also find time for myself. According to the work base experience there are many patients under me and each one has to given proper time so that their issues could be cured. Because of lack in time management, I am not able to perform my role effectively.
Stress management: As it was said above, I have to look after many mental patients and there are cases where apart from my patient I have to look after other patients also when other professional take leave. In such situation I am not able to manage stress. This happens because of lack in time management and ultimately it also results in stress. In addition to this, there are patients who need more attention and care who can not perform any of their personal work. In order to perform the work in continuous basis I feel myself in the stage of stress.

Cont... Problem solving: The understanding level of mental patients is very less. As a result, there are many problems which has to be solved by me. In such condition, I find difficulty in taking appropriate steps in problem solving. As a psychiatrist, it is very important for me to solve problem effectively and that also with other hurting anyone's feelings. Decision making: There are situations where I have to take immediate decisions related with patients or other health professional. In this context, I fail in taking appropriate decision which would be beneficial for all. According to the experience which I have working with the mental patients, there are situations when patients get violent and it becomes very difficult to control them in such case immediate decisions are very important in order to control them.
Cont... Team work: Team work is very important in controlling mental patients. At times when patients get violent, for me alone it becomes very difficult to control them. In such situations, team work is very important so that patients could be controlled easily. Further, team work is also important in providing proper treatment to the patient. It is not possible for me also to handle all the patients at a time. Therefore, proper coordination and communication is very essential in providing proper treatment to the mental patients. Communication plays major role in scheduling time for each patient properly and in providing them proving them timely medicine and meditation.
Model for Reflective Theory
Gibbs reflective cycle was developed in 1988. In reflection processes there are six stages involved. According to this cycle, situation has to be reflected by me, which took place as working as a psychiatrist of mental patients. Gibbs reflective will be helpful in doing so. It would be helpful in improving my practices as a psychiatrist. .
Cont... Stage1: Description: Working as a psychiatrist, I was on my routine rounds. I was checking on the patients, both male and female. Most of the patients were gone to have lunch. When I was crossing in front of female ward, I found that the patient was shouting loudly and was taking to herself. After some time her tone changes and she started taking something else and after some time she did the same thing. In total she spoke in three different voices and all different topics. Then I went near her, next to her a lunch box was kept. Her age was 66 years and she had no strength of her own to get up and have her meal. I helped her in having her lunch. When I read her report, I got know that she had multiple personality disorder. In this disease patient will have different characters and patient can take up any character at any time.
Cont... She was not able to communicate properly on account of her poor mental state. She was fumbling form time to time thereby making it difficult to have an understanding of what was she trying to say Stage 2: Feelings: In this stage, Feelings would be discussed by me. When I went near her, the first thing which I did was to introduce myself. This way I was aiming at building up relation, I did not want her to feel strange. I had a doubt, whether she was deaf. So I use my hands to express myself. In order to feed her, I took permission. As a response she nodded her head. I touched her shoulder and kept telling her and asking her about her problems. I used different body gestures so as to express myself and I also had a doubt whether she had hearing problem or not. It helped be a lot in making her understand easily. Further, I also maintained eye contact so that she feel comfortable.
Stage 3: Evaluation: For this situation, my evaluation is that, I have done a right thing by accompanying her and in helping her to have her lunch. I was not able to understand what she was trying to convey. Body gesture helped me to make her understand easily. After reading her report, I tried to find out from how and what could have been the reason that she had multiple personality disorder.
Cont... Stage 4: Analysis: From this I analysed that, understanding is very important in order to provide patient proper care. If understanding is there, only then problem could be solved effectively. Further, non-verbal skills did help me in communicating my feelings. Understanding and problem are very essential for helping the patient effectively. Stage 5: Conclusion:Through this model I was able to discuss the situation more easily and was able to understand the areas in which I lack and in areas in which I need improvement. I need more improvement in developing my understanding towards the patients and have to work hard in problem solving and decision making.
Cont... Stage 6: Action plan: If I face similar situation like this, at that time I would be more prepared and would focus on understanding patients issues and try to come up with solutions through which they could be cured. According to a survey it was found that mental patients can be cured easily when they are given more attention and care. I would make proper scheduling of time so that all the patients could be given proper time and they could be given better treatment.
