Reflective practice is an integral aspect of nursing education and professional development. However, there is a lack of reflective practice guidelines available in Malay that Malaysian nursing students can effectively utilise. This study aimed to address the gap by developing a reflective practice guideline specifically tailored for nursing students in the Malay language to enhance their learning experience. This study's method involved reviewing existing reflective learning models, adapting the terminologies into the Malay language, and selecting appropriate words for each stage of reflection. To ensure face validity, a discussion was held with subject matter experts, who provided valuable insights and recommendations for further refinement of the guideline. The developed reflective practice guideline was named C-E-R-M-I-N, which stands for C-cerita (describe), E-emosi (emotion), R-rasional (rationale), M-mengambil iktibar/inisiatif (drawing lessons/initiative), and N-nomborkan mengikut prioriti (number according to priority). The C-E-R-M-I-N reflective practice guideline is designed to benefit nursing students, particularly those who use Malay as their main communication language. C-E-R-M-I-N provides a framework in their native language that eases comprehension and memory. Future work on the guideline could focus on its impact on nursing students' reflective skills, critical thinking skills, and overall professional growth.
