How Do Social and Economic Factors Affect Patient Care?

Social determinants of health, such as a patient's living conditions, family support, and economic status, can impact their health outcomes and access to healthcare services. A patient with limited financial resources may struggle to afford medications or transportation to medical appointments. By understanding these factors, nurses can advocate for resources and support systems to help patients overcome these barriers.
