There is no known literature to guide the critical care nurse in the use of mirrors in patient care. This article explores how the author came to believe that mirrors were essential to nursing practice. Misconceptions and assumptions concerning mirrors are explored. A framework that conceptually explores the experience of viewing self in the mirror from the perspective of a person is presented. Five situations in which the mirror may be used in critical care are discussed. This article does not present an authoritative view on mirrors in nursing; rather, it is an invitation to dialogue about a unique element in the environment that may be used to enhance nursing care.
目前尚无已知文献指导重症护理护士在患者护理中使用镜子。本文探讨了作者如何开始相信镜子对护理实践至关重要。文中探讨了关于镜子的误解和假设。提出了一个从人的角度概念性地探索在镜子中审视自我体验的框架。讨论了在重症护理中镜子可被使用的五种情况。本文并未就护理中镜子的使用提出权威性观点；相反，它是一次关于环境中一个可用于改善护理的独特元素的对话邀请。
