Impaired Communication Effective communication is crucial in nursing for accurate diagnosis, treatment, and patient satisfaction. Emotional barriers can lead to misunderstandings, errors, and a lack of trust between nurses and patients.
Reduced Empathy When nurses are emotionally overwhelmed, their ability to empathize with patients diminishes. This can result in patients feeling neglected and dissatisfied with their care.
Decision-Making Challenges Emotional barriers can cloud judgment, leading to poor decision-making. This can compromise patient safety and the quality of care provided.
