The loss of trust can have several detrimental effects on patient outcomes:
Non-Adherence to Treatment: Patients are less likely to follow treatment plans if they do not trust their healthcare providers. Increased Anxiety: Lack of trust can lead to heightened levels of stress and anxiety, negatively affecting recovery. Lower Satisfaction: Patients who do not trust their nurses are generally less satisfied with their care, which can affect overall healthcare ratings. Delayed Care: Patients may delay seeking care if they do not trust their healthcare providers, leading to worsened health conditions.
