The nursing profession is full of challenges, and constant contact with ill patients and complex situations generates stress and anxiety. Reflection is considered one of the most effective ways to cope with stress. The benefits of reflection are multifaceted. Reflection helps us to analyse experiences, learn from them, and reduce emotional tension. To reveal the benefits of reflection, a qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with nurses. It was found that nurses employ various modes of reflection that help them analyse the situations they experience and the actions they have taken. The results show that reflection empowers nurses for mindfulness, intra-dialogue, structured action, and professional reciprocity.
