Poor communication: Misunderstandings, lack of clarity, and inadequate information sharing can lead to conflicts. Unprofessional behavior: Actions such as gossip, disrespect, and negligence can erode trust and respect. Lack of collaboration: Failing to work together or undermining colleagues can disrupt team dynamics and patient care. Ethical dilemmas: Disagreements on ethical issues can strain relationships and affect decision-making. Workplace stress: High stress levels can lead to burnout, reduced patience, and increased conflicts.
