What are Some Challenges to Sustainability in Nursing?
Several challenges can hinder the implementation of sustainable practices in nursing:
1. Initial Costs: The upfront cost of sustainable technologies and practices can be a barrier. 2. Lack of Awareness: Both healthcare professionals and patients may lack understanding of the importance of sustainability. 3. Regulatory Hurdles: Compliance with existing regulations might sometimes conflict with sustainable practices. 4. Resistance to Change: Institutional inertia and resistance to new ways of doing things can delay the adoption of sustainable practices.
