    GIBBS REFLECTIVE CYCLE

    Description
    During our first week of duty in Agusan Del Norte Provincial Hospital, I had the
    opportunity to have my first case in ADNPH to a pregnant mother going through cesarean
    section. As a nursing student, the experience of witnessing surgeons and other healthcare
    professionals performing a cesarean section can be incredibly awe-inspiring
    Feelings
    Inside the operating room, clad in my sterile gloves, the gravity of the moment settled
    over me like a heavy blanket. A pregnant mother laying, her abdomen curved beneath the sterile
    drapes, her face a mix of anticipation and nervousness. As the surgeons began their work, I
    couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions coursing through me. There was excitement, knowing
    that soon a new life would enter the world, but also a sense of responsibility. I was here to
    witness and support, to learn and assist in any way I could.
    Evaluation
    As a nursing student, witnessing a pregnant mother's cesarean section was emotionally
    stirring, evoking anticipation and wonder. I admired the seamless teamwork of healthcare
    professionals, which included focused surgeons, vigilant anesthesiologists, and supportive
    nurses. Despite its rich learning opportunities, grappling with the surgical risks, especially in
    childbirth, proved challenging. Reflecting on this encounter through critical reflection and
    Benner's stages of clinical competence emphasized my growth. This experience highlighted the
    importance of compassionate, patient-centered care and deepened my understanding of childbirth
    complexities and healthcare team dedication.
    Analysis
    Witnessing a pregnant mother having a cesarean section as a nursing student is
    influenced by many things. Good teamwork, being ready, supporting the mom, and having
    skilled staff are important for a smooth surgery. But if there's not enough planning or
    communication, if there are technical problems, or if the mom doesn't get enough emotional
    support, it can be harder. Looking at what happened compared to what's written in books, it
    shows teamwork, checking before surgery, helping the mom feel better, and learning more are all
    really important. So, it's clear that good teamwork, being prepared, having skilled care, and
    helping the mom feel supported are key for a good outcome for both mom and baby.
    Conclusion
    In summary, witnessing a cesarean section as a nursing student highlighted the
    importance of providing emotional support, assisting the surgical team, and ensuring proper
    preparation in the operating room. This experience emphasized lessons in communication,
    teamwork, and childbirth complexities. Ongoing development of clinical skills and advocacy for
    patient safety are crucial for improvement. Preventive measures such as promoting prenatal care,
    supporting VBAC, and implementing evidence-based practices can reduce unnecessary cesarean
    deliveries. A multi-faceted approach involving quality improvement, education, shared decision-
    making, and fostering a learning culture is essential for enhancing maternal-fetal healthcare
    delivery.
    Action Plan
    To get ready for watching cesarean sections as nursing students, it's important to prepare
    ahead. Read trusted books or articles about why cesarean sections happen, how they're done,
    what might go wrong, and how to care for the mother afterward. Practice in simulated situations
    to learn the skills and get comfortable with the tools. Talk to experienced nurses or teachers for
    advice and to talk about how you feel after seeing tough things. And don't forget to take care of
    ourselves too, by doing things like exercising and relaxing to manage stress. These steps will
    help nursing students handle cesarean sections better and give kind care to moms and families
    during this important time.
