Despite these challenges, there are several strategies that nurses can employ to enhance patient interaction:
Time management: Prioritizing and efficiently managing time can free up more opportunities for direct patient care. Utilize technology wisely: Technology should be used to complement, not replace, patient interaction. Tools like telehealth can facilitate more frequent communication. Patient-centered care: Focusing on the individual needs and preferences of each patient can improve the quality of interactions. Teamwork: Delegating tasks and working collaboratively with other healthcare professionals can help distribute the workload more evenly.
