What Are Common Challenges in Communicating Change?
Several challenges can arise when communicating change in nursing:
1. Resistance to Change: Nurses may resist change due to comfort with existing practices or fear of the unknown. 2. Information Overload: Healthcare environments are often inundated with information, making it difficult for staff to absorb new changes. 3. Miscommunication: Incomplete or unclear instructions can lead to misunderstandings and errors. 4. Time Constraints: Nurses often operate under tight schedules, leaving little time for thorough communication.
